The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Glasgow’s Hospital Broadcasting Service (HBS) on its triumphs at the prestigious National Hospital Radio Awards 2023; understands that HBS provides therapeutic radio services to patients across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, with the main hospitals that they serve including Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Gartnavel General Hospital, Royal Alexandra Hospital, and the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre; recognises that HBS is a volunteer-run service, which provides a welcome distraction for hospital patients by visiting patients and playing song requests; thanks HBS for its continued commitment to providing what it sees as this important broadcasting service, which, it understands, also involves organising fundraising events throughout the year in order to cover the costs of running the service; recognises that these awards are a testimony to HBS and its volunteers’ and broadcasters' dedicated services to hospital patients across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, and congratulates HBS on its recent 50th anniversary.
