The motion

That the Parliament commends the generosity of a Fife donor who has gifted £500,000 to support patients and healthcare staff in the efforts to tackle COVID-19 in the Kingdom; understands that the Fife Health Board Endowment Fund is a registered charity that funds a range of initiatives to benefit the patients, carers and staff of NHS Fife, is funded entirely through donations and supports programmes aimed at health improvement and disease prevention; notes the wishes of the anonymous donor that the funds be used to provide additional support for patients and the healthcare staff working tirelessly to care for them, and welcomes the many overwhelming acts of generosity and selflessness from individuals, community groups and businesses across Fife and wider Scotland during this difficult time to support the continued efforts to tackle COVID-19.
