League of Hospital Friends Donates £120,000 Scanner to IRH

Lodged by Stuart McMillan (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 17 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament thanks the League of Hospital Friends, which runs the tea bar at Inverclyde Royal Hospital, for donating a high-tech Fibroscan machine, which helps to detect how much scarring is in the liver and helps doctors decide on a patient’s plan of treatment; understands that this scanner represents a donation worth £120,000, and that, since being founded in 1972, the "tea bar heroes" have raised more than £2 million to support the hospital; believes that this life-changing equipment will go a long way to helping patients to receive timely, appropriate treatment and means that they do not need to travel to Paisley or Glasgow to undergo a Fibroscan, and applauds, therefore, the volunteers who run the tea bar for their generosity.
