Lodged by Rachael Hamilton (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 25 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Borders General Hospital and the Friends of Borders General Hospital on successfully fundraising to purchase 29 new emergency resuscitation trolleys for use throughout the hospital; understands that the fundraising campaign, which raised over £12,000, was supported predominantly by hospital staff participating in the Great North Run and Edinburgh Kiltwalk; recognises the importance of the new trolleys in providing portable equipment in one location, enabling healthcare professionals to respond more efficiently in emergency situations; acknowledges the efforts of Dr Heather Mathews, Calum Campbell, and all staff and volunteers involved in organising and supporting the fundraising campaign, which directly benefits patients and staff alike; understands that these modern trolleys replace aging equipment and are designed to improve access and save valuable seconds in life-saving interventions, and commends the Friends of Borders General Hospital, NHS Borders staff, and the local community for their dedication to enhancing patient care and safety.
