There is to be a debate on podiatry provision in Scotland which will be
held in Parliament on Wednesday 28 April 2004 at 5pm. The motion for debate
is as follows;
*S2M-1144# : Chiropody Care-That the Parliament recognises the importance
of regular chiropody and foot care in keeping Scotland's elderly population
mobile, pain free and independent; considers that the Scottish Executive
should specify who is eligible for NHS chiropody and podiatry care, noting
that local access policies differ throughout Scotland and promote variances
in the provision of foot care, and further considers that NHS boards should
ensure that access to foot health services are maintained in a fair and
equitable manner to all patient groups, including the elderly and
schoolchildren.
The motion has attracted cross party support and a number of MSP's have
indicated that they would like to hear the views of podiatrists and/or
their patients before the debate starts. If you are interested in attending
and would like further information, please email me direct.
