The report “The Best Start—A Five-year Forward Plan for Maternity and Neonatal Care in Scotland” recommended developing three to five neonatal intensive care units, yet the Scottish Government has agreed to reduce the number to three. Aside from the impact at Ninewells, that will result in the downgrading of the award-winning Wishaw neonatal unit. We also know that the lack of capacity in Glasgow means that mums and the very sickest babies may have to travel hundreds of miles to Aberdeen. That simply cannot be right.

Will the minister look at that issue again, in the interests of mothers and babies, rethink the downgrade of the Wishaw neonatal unit and consider whether it is possible to have more than three intensive care units?
