The motion

That the Parliament recognises what it sees as the bravery of Amanda McClorey and Caron Robertson, two Scottish Ambulance Service staff members based at Stranraer Station, who, it understands, rescued an injured woman on a Galloway beach; congratulates them on receiving the Brave@Heart Awards for their courage in exceptional circumstances, having been nominated by their colleagues; understands that the words on the submission state that “they took control of the situation calmly, with retrieval of the patient required over a steep cliff face...both clambered down the cliff and helped get the patient up”; further understands that they managed to successfully transfer the patient, who was then taken by RNLI to Port Patrick, where Amanda and Caron oversaw the admittance to hospital; praises the ambulance staff members for what it sees as their professionalism throughout and commendable actions, and wishes them both well in the future along with other members of the Scottish Ambulance Service.
