The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Gordon McPherson on being awarded the World Thrombosis Day 2022 Ambassador of the Year; recognises that this award is for Gordon’s extraordinary commitment to achieving the mission of the World Thrombosis Day campaign and for raising awareness through patient support and education, in memory of his daughter Katie; understands that Gordon’s daughter, Katie, who was 23 years old, died from a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in 2003; acknowledges reports that one in four people worldwide die from conditions caused by thrombosis, and believes that the Scottish Government should raise awareness of thrombosis with the public so that people know the causes and effects of thrombosis, and how it can be prevented.
