St Margaret of Scotland Hospice Celebrates 75 years of Care

Lodged by Marie McNair (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 22 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises St Margaret of Scotland Hospice, which was first established in Millbrae Crescent in Clydebank in 1950; understands that it was the first hospice founded in Scotland and named after Queen Margaret of Scotland, who was granted saintly status in recognition of her charitable work; further understands that the hospice was initially set up in a house, which was quickly outgrown, and the house next door was taken into use in 1952, and that, in 1971, a new purpose-built hospice was built on East Barns Street, just around the corner from the original dwelling; celebrates the care and compassion by the community palliative care service and staff; acknowledges what it sees as the importance of the contributions that St Margaret of Scotland Hospice, the largest hospice in Scotland, has made to palliative care in Clydebank and surrounding areas, and commends hospice staff and volunteers for what it sees as pioneering, compassionate care for end-of-life in Scotland, and for their continued dedication to the community for the past 75 years.
