motion text | That this House notes that in the event of a no-deal Brexit, the Government has stated that companies may need to stockpile medicines, including essential drugs for the treatment of diabetes and other chronic, life threatening conditions; further notes the comments made by Mike Thompson, Chief Executive of the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry where he said, stockpiling by industry won’t be enough, as well as the comments by Professor Sir Michael Rawlins, Chair of the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, that disruption to the insulin supply chain is one of the ways that patients could be severely disadvantaged by Brexit; expresses concern that Brexit may threaten access to essential drugs required to manage and treat a wide range of diseases and conditions; and calls on the Government to provide reassurance to people with drug dependent illnesses regarding their access to essential drugs if a no-deal Brexit is the outcome of negotiations. | |||||||||||||

motion text | That this House congratulates Edinburgh for winning more than 45 per cent of Scotland's Green Flag awards in recognition of the city's outstanding quality of green spaces; recognises that the Green Flag award is the ultimate benchmark for green spaces and that of 71 across Scotland, 33 were in Edinburgh; thanks the environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful for administrating the awards and welcomes the work that it does to improve and protect Scotland's environment; pays tribute to the many volunteers and staff who work hard all year round to help make our parks such attractive places to visit; further recognises the importance to communities of having access to excellent green spaces because of the valuable physical and mental health benefits to people of all ages; notes that communities rely on having access to beautiful green spaces that are safe, inviting and free to use as they provide places for children to play and families to spend time together; understands that 90 per cent of urban Scots in a recent survey noted that it was important to them to have greenspace in their community and so it is imperative that everyone has the opportunity to access high quality green space, regardless of where they live; and hopes that for all these reasons Scotland will not only maintain the quality of these parks going forward but will attain even more Green Flag awards in the future. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

motion text | That this House, on Clean Air Day 2018, notes that air pollution from traffic fumes has a devastating impact on health, especially on children and people with existing health problems; regrets the fact that air pollution is responsible for over 2,500 early deaths every year in Scotland and costs the Scottish economy over £1.1 billion annually; recognises that pollution has been linked with heart attacks, strokes and cancers, and can also restrict children’s lung development and the growth of unborn babies; believes that setting up Low Emission Zones in towns and cities can make a real difference in reducing vehicle emissions and improving the health of people growing up in polluted areas; acknowledges research undertaken by Friends of the Earth Scotland which showed that St John's Road in Corstorphine was the second most polluted road in Scotland in 2017; welcomes Edinburgh City Council's consultation into establishing a Low Emission Zone in the city; and congratulates the residents of Corstorphine and Murrayfield who have launched a petition calling for a future Low Emissions Zone to cover their local area. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

motion text | That this House notes the duty placed on businesses by the Equality Act 2010 to make reasonable readjustments to remove barriers to disabled people; regrets that it is up to the individual to bring court action against business owners who are in breach of these provisions; recognises that such action is way beyond the realms of affordability for the many disabled people whose only source of income is social security payments; expresses great concern at the number of premises in the city of Edinburgh, as well as across the UK, which are not wheelchair accessible; further notes the findings of a survey of 130 business properties in western Edinburgh, undertaken by Shirley Todd, which found that 72 per cent were not wheelchair accessible; notes that transport providers in particular often make no provision for disabled passengers; congratulates Shirley Todd on her hard work on the Let Us In campaign and associated change.org petition; and calls on the Government to make local authorities responsible for pro-actively enforcing wheelchair access in their areas. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
