Parksprings Care Home Lifesaving Fundraiser

Lodged by Clare Adamson (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 16 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Parksprings Care Home, in Motherwell, on its series of fundraising events to raise funds for two defibrillators; understands that staff at the Dalziel unit held their latest charity evening with the help of the Horseshoe Bar; further understands that, every week in Scotland, around 70 people experience cardiac arrest at home, work or in a public place, and that starting CPR as soon as possible will give the person the best chance of survival, but that being able to use a defibrillator within the first few minutes of collapse increases that chance even further; thanks staff and residents at Parksprings Care Home for their fundraising efforts, and wishes them all the best for the future.
