S1M-568 Shona Robison (North East Scotland) (SNP) :  Heart Disease— That
the Parliament expresses concern at the recently published report of the
British Heart Foundation detailing the United Kingdom's poor record in
cardiovascular disease; notes the fact that the United Kingdom has one of
the highest death rates from coronary heart disease in the European Union;
further notes that Tayside is near the bottom of the Scottish league table
in waiting times for cardiac surgery and, in light of this, supports the
demands for a fifth Scottish cardiac unit to be based at Ninewells
Hospital, Dundee to serve the East of Scotland.
