The motion
That the Parliament congratulates NHS Lanarkshire on winning first prize for Sustainability Excellence at the Scottish Health and Social Care Facilities Awards; notes that the award was for its successful environmental project to reduce the amount of recyclable material being mixed in with clinical waste from hospital operating theatres; further notes that the project was initially piloted at University Hospital Wishaw, with plans now being adopted by theatre teams at University Hospital Hairmyres in East Kilbride and University Hospital Monklands in Airdrie; acknowledges that the project was the brainchild of anaesthetists, Dr Adam Livingston and Dr Alan Morrison; further acknowledges that the project was instrumental in reducing the hospital’s clinical waste at the hospital by 1.9 tonnes, with a significant reduction made in carbon dioxide emissions, and wishes all theatre staff well in future endeavours.
