Ayrshire Hospitals are Fast Approaching COVID-19 Bed Capacity

Lodged by Sharon Dowey Standard Motion 17 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes with concern the reports that bed capacity in Ayrshire hospitals is fast approaching the COVID-19 bed capacity, as admissions hit their highest point in six months; further notes the reports that health chiefs are worried about an autumn COVID-19 surge, with 83 of the 93 designated beds for COVID-19 currently occupied; understands that this situation must improve before winter, with a surge of COVID-19 cases and other seasonal illnesses expected to surge; recognises that the longer this surge continues, the longer that elective surgeries will continue to be axed; thanks all NHS Ayrshire and Arran staff for continuing to work extremely hard, and wishes all patients with COVID-19 a fast recovery.
