West Lothian Council Partnership with Macmillan

  • Submitted by: Neil Findlay, Lothian, Scottish Labour.
  • Date lodged: Monday, 15 October 2018
  • Motion reference: S5M-14334

That the Parliament welcomes a new local partnership between West Lothian Council and Macmillan Cancer Support; notes that the service is largely run by volunteers, which has led to helping 1,000 people over the course of a year; acknowledges that drop-in advice and information sessions resulted in those in need, or affected by cancer, being referred to partner services; understands that the service has launched different awareness months covering a range of cancer-related issues, and praises this new partnership on delivering much needed assistance for cancer patients and their families, and raising awareness of the illness.
