Scotland Values its EU Workforce and their Contribution to Health and Social Care - Amendment

  • Submitted by: Donald Cameron, Highlands and Islands, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
  • Date lodged: Monday, 07 November 2016
  • Motion reference: S5M-02355.2
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 08 November 2016

As an amendment to motion S5M-02355 in the name of Shona Robison (Scotland Values its EU Workforce and their Contribution to Health and Social Care), leave out from “protecting” to end and insert “maintaining a close relationship with Europe; recognises the valuable contribution that health and social care staff from across the EU, and beyond, make to Scotland; notes that around 1 in 20 NHS doctors in Scotland come from other parts of the EU; resolves to continue promoting Scotland as a welcoming place for EU nationals to work in the health and social care sector; is concerned that, as a result of the ‘capped’ arrangement for Scottish university places for domiciled Scots, there are limited places available for these students to study medicine which, in turn, puts additional pressure on medical recruitment; recognises that the UK Government has committed to retain all EU employment protections post-Brexit and has stated the intention to protect the status of all EU nationals currently in the UK, and calls on the Scottish Government to positively engage with the UK Government to ensure that the interests of the health and social care workforce in Scotland are protected in exit negotiations with the EU.”
