Lodged by Sandesh Gulhane Standard Motion 44 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises that 9 March 2023 is World Kidney Day; acknowledges that the day highlights the importance of kidney health, and draws attention to kidney disease and the associated mental health repercussions, as well as the physical impact of kidney disease; understands that around 3.2% of the population in Scotland have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, and three million people across the UK as a whole; further understands that the average waiting time for a kidney transplant is two to three years; acknowledges what it sees as the importance of living donation for people in need of a kidney transplant, and thanks the many individuals and organisations that raise awareness of this condition each year.
