World Inflammatory Bowel Disease Day on 19 May 2024

Lodged by Pauline McNeill (Scottish Labour) Standard Motion 30 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises World Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Day on 19 May 2024; understands that Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are serious chronic diseases where the immune system attacks the gut, affecting over 500,000 people in the UK, including over 50,000 people living in Scotland; further understands that Scotland has the highest proportion of the population of people living with IBD in the UK; believes that, on this World IBD Day, Crohn’s and Colitis UK will seek to tackle the stigma, myths, and misunderstanding around IBD, which, it understands, have meant that thousands of people with these conditions are experiencing them in silence; commends Crohn's and Colitis UK for its work in supporting people in the UK who are living with Crohn's and colitis, and thanks Crohn's and Colitis UK and all who support the organisation for their dedication to people living with IBD.
