For

Abstentions

The Presiding Officer

The result of the division is: For 64, Against 0, Abstentions 62.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament notes the widespread public concern over proposals to downgrade valued local services, including maternity services at the Vale of Leven Hospital, paediatric services at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, maternity services at Inverclyde Hospital, trauma orthopaedics at Monklands Hospital, inpatient services at the Centre for Integrative Care, cleft palate services at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children and the closure of the Lightburn Hospital; believes that all these proposals constitute major changes in service provision, and therefore calls on the Scottish Government to call in these proposals, as set out by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, NHS Lanarkshire and NHS Lothian, for ministerial decision.

The Presiding Officer

The final question is, that motion S5M-01691, on a variation of standing orders, and motions S5M-01694 to S5M-01696, on approval of Scottish statutory instruments, all in the name of Joe FitzPatrick, be agreed to.

Motions agreed to.

That the Parliament agrees that, in relation to First Minister’s Questions on 6 October—

(i) in the first sentence of Rule 13.7.A1 “30 minutes” be replaced with “45 minutes”;

and

(ii) in Rule 13.6.2 “6” be replaced with “8”.

That the Parliament agrees that the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 (Part 4 and Part 5 Complaints) Revocation Order 2016 [draft] be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that the Prohibited Procedures on Protected Animals (Exemptions) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2016 [draft] be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that the Public Appointments and Public Bodies etc. (Scotland) Act 2003 (Treatment of Crown Estate Scotland (Interim Management) as Specified Authority) Order 2016 [draft] be approved.

Anas Sarwar (Glasgow) (Lab)

On a point of order, Presiding Officer. I seek clarification from you. Today, Parliament has clearly stated its will that the proposed national health service changes and downgrades should be called in for ministerial decision. Will the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport take this opportunity to say that she will accept the will of Parliament, recognise the mandate that she has been given and call in the changes to NHS services?

The Presiding Officer

If it is a point for the Government, the Government can respond in its own time; if it is a point for the chair, it is for me to respond.

Resolutions of the Parliament are not binding. If the Government wishes to respond to or act on the will of Parliament, that is up to the Government. The question that has been asked is not one for the Government to respond to—[Interruption.] I ask members to speak through the chair, please.

That concludes decision time.
