The motion

That the Parliament acknowledges the vital role of the voluntary and community sector during the COVID-19 outbreak as it strives to tackle what it sees as Scotland's social, economic and health inequalities, which it believes have been exacerbated by the pandemic; recognises the enormous efforts, scale, speed and impact of the sector's response to meeting people's immediate, and urgent, need for support and care since the onset of the crisis, and notes the work of the Cross Party Group on Health Inequalities, including its secretariat, Voluntary Health Scotland, in drawing Members' attention to the crucial need to prepare to mitigate the longer-term impact of COVID-19 on health inequalities
