Lodged by Audrey Nicoll Standard Motion 18 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the launch of Simeon Care for the Elderly's trishaw service, based at Simeon House, Cairnlee Road, Aberdeen; understands that the trishaw is a battery-powered bicycle attached to a cabin, which includes modifications for ease of access and a blanket compartment for use on colder days; notes that Simeon House is a home to 23 older residents with varying needs, and that the trishaw provides opportunities to provide the residents with stimulating, outdoor experiences; understands that the trishaw, costing £7,500, was delivered from Copenhagen, and funding was made possible through the Scottish Government's Adapt and Thrive programme; commends the management and staff at Simeon House for thinking "outside the box" on providing new experiences for the residents, and wishes continued success for everyone at the care home.
