Temporary Closure of Children’s Ward at St John's Hospital
The motion
That the Parliament notes with great concern the temporary closure of the children's ward at St John's Hospital in Livingston for a three-week period in July; believes this situation to have been wholly avoidable and considers that a lack of forward planning has contributed to the closure; acknowledges the anger in the West Lothian community resulting from the temporary closure, and calls on NHS Lothian and the Scottish Government to take immediate steps to ensure that such a closure does not happen again and to confirm that the children’s ward will reopen in August and will remain open after the three-week temporary closure is over.
