As an amendment to motion S4M-15766 in the name of Jenny Marra (Health), leave out from “is deeply concerned” to end and insert "recognises that NHS staffing and funding are at record high levels; supports the frontline NHS resource budget increasing in at least real terms in the next parliamentary session; welcomes the Scottish Government’s record of protecting local services, including saving A&E departments in Monklands and Ayr; endorses the recently published A National Clinical Strategy for Scotland with its aim to provide more care where people need it, with as much care as possible delivered locally, and is committed to maintaining and improving safe and effective local services across Scotland, including in the Royal Alexandra Hospital, Vale of Leven Hospital, Lightburn Hospital and St John’s Hospital."
