The motion

That the Parliament celebrates World Cerebral Palsy Day 2021, which is being marked on 6 October; acknowledges that Cerebral Palsy Scotland has issued its annual review with a call for an urgent plan to #StampOutTheGap and give everyone with the condition the help, support and services that they need; believes that the Scottish Government, MSPs, the NHS and local authorities should listen to the voices of people with cerebral palsy and their families; considers that seeing people with cerebral palsy in person is an essential service; recognises how hard the COVID-19 pandemic has hit people with the condition; notes that the review states that 60% had said that their mental health has been negatively affected, with 44% saying that they felt that this had impacted on other people in the family, 43% reported that their physical health had deteriorated and 63% said that their care arrangements had still not returned to pre-pandemic levels, and supports the call for an urgent plan to #StampOutTheGap and for care arrangements to return pre-pandemic levels.
