The motion

That the Parliament recognises that the Highland Pre-hospital Immediate Care and Trauma (PICT) team received the emergency services Hero of the Year Award at the 2022 Highland Heroes event; notes that PICT teams attend scenes of major trauma incidents and help to provide advanced care; further notes that the PICT team based at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness has been deployable seven days a week since August 2020; considers that Highland PICT meets the ambitions of the Scottish Government’s national trauma network programme and plays a key role in NHS Highland’s major incident planning, collaborating with the Scottish Ambulance Service and other emergency services; welcomes that NHS Highland has extended its funding to Highland PICT in order for the team to continue to provide a seven-days-a-week service until September 2022; notes the calls encouraging the NHS board to secure the longer term future of Highland PICT beyond September 2022, which ensures the service’s current operational capabilities are maintained; commends all members of the Highland PICT team for the essential service that they provide, and wishes the team all the best for the future.
