Emma Roddick's Campaign for an NHS 24 Mental Health Helpline Option

That the Parliament congratulates Emma Roddick, who is a member of The Highland Council, on the success of her campaign to introduce a dedicated mental health option on the out-of-hours NHS 24 helpline menu after her petition calling for this received more than 25,000 signatures; acknowledges that this will provide people selecting the option with valuable assistance by allowing them to talk to someone directly about their issues; understands the importance of treating mental ill health as seriously as physical ailments; hopes this change will go some way to breaking down stigma, and applauds Emma for this.
