National Donor Milk Bank

Lodged by Mark McDonald SNP Lodged 1 May 2013 33 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the petitioner, Donna Scott of Dyce, on the success of her calls for a national donor milk bank; is aware that Ms Scott lodged a petition in the Parliament for the provision of donor milk irrespective of where people live to ensure that premature babies all over Scotland have the same access to donor milk as babies in Glasgow and south of the border; understands that the milk bank is to be launched in June this year during Breastfeeding Awareness Week; notes with disappointment the decision of NHS Forth Valley and NHS Orkney not to involve themselves with the service at this stage, and hopes that they will reconsider their position at an early stage to enable the new service to be a truly national milk bank.
