Centre for Integrative Care

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the valuable service that it considers is provided by the award-winning Centre for Integrative Care, which is based at Gartnavel Hospital; notes that this is the only facility of its kind in Scotland; calls on the Scottish Government to revise its decision to designate the proposed closure of this facility as a minor service change; considers that it is disappointing that the Scottish Government has not accepted the will of the Parliament and designated this as a major service change; further considers that downgrading the service change to minor allows the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport to avoid responsibility by placing the decision in the hands of one NHS board; acknowledges that there have long been calls on the Scottish Government to reject the closure of this facility; believes that the closure would jeopardise the care of numerous patients with complex and chronic conditions who benefit from referral to this inpatient service, and appeals to the Scottish Government, on behalf of the public, to save this facility by calling it in and rejecting the proposal to close.
