The motion

That the Parliament praises Alzheimer Scotland for the work done by its Polish and Ukrainian Support Service in providing information, advice and support to people with dementia and their carers from within the eastern European communities of Scotland; notes with concern the language and cultural barriers faced by many carers and sufferers from Scotland’s ethnic minority communities when attempting to access appropriate advice and support, and calls for resources to be made available to ensure that support services are available to meet the specific needs of carers from other ethnic minority communities.
