A pleasure to meet members of the Voices of Argyll choir today before their ‘Interwoven’ performance in Parliament which combines Scottish and Indian genres. They do great work to bring music to our rural communities and historic locations.

On Debate Night, Wednesday 22/5, Collette Stevenson MSP reiterated that the SNP's priority is independence.
We are focused on people's priorities like supporting our town centres, well functioning public transport - action that gets the economy moving.

Thank you Pam Gosal MBE MSP for arranging an #InternationalYogaDay event this week with Manjulika Singh MBE - attended by many MSP colleagues & India In Scotland

Yoga is amazing for our mental & physical health - also culturally significant for those of us of Indian heritage

We must learn lessons from the infected blood scandal inquiry which exposed a culture stained by deception, a lack of accountability and hiding the truth.
Sadly, toxic cultures still exist in Scotland’s health boards.

This Foster Care Fortnight I’m joining The Fostering Network to celebrate the fostering community. We urgently need more foster carers (400 in Scotland alone) so children can be cared for close to everything they know to help them thrive. #FosteringMoments #FCF24

A pleasure to engage with RCN Scotland at today’s roundtable. Nurses are bearing the burden of the Scottish Government’s failures. The Scottish Government needs to act now to ensure the workforce is sustainable and #valuenursing . Warm words won’t cut it.

Today the @Scottories launched our #righttorecovery bill. This will ensure that those with addictions are given the treatment they deserve and the government is held to account for the care people receive. Huge thanks to FAVORUK 💜 for helping us with this bill.

Exercise to feel good - doesn't need to be competitive sport or an intense workout, just a daily walk can make a huge difference to how we feel.

The SNP allowed a rookie Green MSP to torch £100m+ on a failed recycle scheme …… at a time when the NHS needs more funding for COVID recovery.

Sunday is #NursesDay2024 .
Nurses do a wonderful job. They play a vital role in delivering care that changes lives.
They deserve our thanks not just today but everyday for their extraordinary hard work and dedication. RCN Scotland

The Cass Review tinyurl.com/52f9vk8c concludes there's a lack of research & weak evidence on irreversible medical interventions such as puberty blockers.

It is not transphobic to call for an evidence based & holistic approach to supporting young people with gender distress.

The Minister is divorced from reality.
Dentists are watching and are not impressed with the minister who has buried her head in the sand thinking that everything’s perfect.
If she remains in her job, perhaps she should actually meet providers and see what is really going on.
