Closure of Red Cross House Irvine
The motion
That the Parliament is concerned by the decision of the British Red Cross to close Red Cross House in Irvine; understands that the facility provides residential care to 21 vulnerable adults from across Scotland who are adjusting to ill health, a health condition or disability; understands that around 25% of the 36 units is used for respite care; is concerned that 77 staff that are currently employed at Red Cross House would lose their jobs should the facility close, and calls on the British Red Cross to reconsider its decision.
