That the Parliament recognises and commends the hard-working staff across Scotland’s NHS; thanks them for the significant progress they have delivered, including long waits down 11 months in a row, and welcomes the Scottish Government’s commitment to working with all staff across Scotland’s Health and Social Care sectors to deliver further reform and renewal.
