Glasgow Nurses Raise Funds for Family Day Trips

Lodged by Rachael Hamilton (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 21 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates nurses from the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow on organising a charity ball at the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel on 27 April 2024; understands that the special event aimed to brighten the lives of patients undergoing treatment; recognises that the nurses care for children aged five to 12, who have severe mental health disorders, anorexia, psychosis and post-traumatic stress disorder, in ward four of the hospital; understands that young patients are often in the hospital for months and even up to a year; further understands that parents and guardians cannot stay on the ward and that, depending on where the family base is, they are sometimes unable to see their children daily or weekly, and believes that the nurses saw the powerful and positive impact that family time has on the children and decided to organise the charity ball to raise funds, which, it understands, will allow them to send children and their families on day trips and weekends away.
