The motion

That the Parliament understands that a report from the Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment concerning the radiation at Dalgety Bay was published following a freedom of information request; further understands that the partially completed report did not contain information on the context of the cancer cases identified or the input from the Director of Public Health in Fife and his team; expresses regret that the newspaper articles that followed did not incorporate an explanation by the health professionals in Fife of the cause of the cancer cases and considers that this has affected the mental wellbeing of the community, and expects that the Chief Medical Officer for Scotland will meet the relevant community council and elected representatives to allay the health concerns that have emerged as a consequence of the newspaper article.
