Lodged by Jackie Dunbar (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 16 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates NHS Grampian’s catering team on being recognised with a Green Star Award for its work tackling food waste; understands that the team closely monitors food production, waste and popularity and makes seasonal changes to the menu to try and ensure that as little as possible is thrown away; notes that the team has reduced waste with initiatives such as making fresh pies daily using surplus ingredients from the day before; recognises that the NHS Grampian team serves more than two million meals to patients every year, as well as more than 300,000 meals in cafes for staff and visitors; notes that the NHS Grampian ward toast campaign reduced the number of slices being thrown away by almost two thirds, which saved around £2,000 per year, as well as making carbon savings; commends the efforts of all staff in NHS Grampian’s catering team for their hard work and efforts, and wishes them all the best going forward.
