QUEEN MARGARET HOSPICE GARDEN, DUNFERMLINE

Early day motion 1785, tabled 30 October 2018 by Douglas Chapman (Scottish National Party). Signed by 12 members.

That this House congratulates the Queen Margaret Hospice Garden Group on its successful campaign to raise funds to create a garden at the Queen Margaret Hospice in Dunfermline; notes that a total of £50,000 has been raised so far through a combination of individual donations and grants, with £11,000 of this raised purely from private donations; understands that the project aims to create a modem, innovative garden designed to facilitate full access for hospital beds and wheelchairs, offering patients nearing the end of their lives the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors in a peaceful space with their family and friends; welcomes the progress made by the Group in just a year from conception to completion, with work on the garden set to be completed very shortly; pays credit to all of the volunteers and NHS Fife staff involved for their planning, hard work and determination to drive the project forward; and applauds the generosity in particular of the private donors who have kindly donated money out of their own pockets to help make this dream a reality.

Signatures by party: Scottish National Party 10, DUP 1, Labour 1.
