The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Cambuslang-based Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) on 10 years of partnership with Anthony Nolan; notes that the partnership was established after one of its firefighters, Ally Boyle, was diagnosed with blood cancer, and that since then a total of approximately 14,500 new potential stem cell donors have been registered; notes the focus of the partnership on encouraging young people and schoolchildren to register as donors, and welcomes the future work of the project in helping to increase the number of stem cell donors in Scotland.
