Members' Business motions that have achieved cross party support
*S5M-08100 Stuart McMillan: Re-Start A Heart Day 2017—That the Parliament recognises that Re-Start A Heart Day 2017 will be marked on 16 October; notes that it is a designated day of action across Europe that aims to teach vital life-saving CPR skills to as many people as possible; understands that, in Scotland, over 3,500 people are treated every year by the Scottish Ambulance Service because of cardiac arrest and that, sadly, only around 1 in 20 survive; acknowledges that the aim of the parent campaign, Save a Life for Scotland, is to double the survival rates out-of-hospital cardiac arrest within five years and for an additional 500,000 people to be trained with CPR skills by 2020; acknowledges the view that increasing the incidence of bystander CPR is at the cornerstone of improving outcomes; welcomes the ambulance service's campaign to register public access defibrillators on the website, pad.scottishambulance.com, which was launched in March 2017; understands that 1,000 such defibrillators are now registered; believes that, while there is no legal obligation to register, it greatly assists the ambulance service in knowing their locations in communities to assist when responding to 999 calls; hopes that the day is a success and leads to people learning CPR as a potentially life- saving skill, and acknowledges the calls for custodians of defibrillators to register them with the Scottish Ambulance Service.

Members' Business motions that have not achieved cross party support
*S5M-08077 Clare Adamson: Road Safety Week 2017—That the Parliament recognises that the week commencing 20 November 2017 is Road Safety Week; notes that this is an annual event to raise awareness about road safety and was started in 1997 by Brake, a road safety charity that works to prevent road death or injury, campaigns to make streets and communities safer and supports the victims of road crashes; acknowledges that the theme for 2017 is Speed Down Save Lives focussing on the dangers of driving over the speed limit; understands that breaking the speed limit or travelling too fast for conditions is recorded by police as a contributory factor in 23% of crash scenes in the UK; notes that the 2017 campaign will also highlight intelligent speed

Motions | Gluasadan adaptation devices, which it believes are likely to become more prevalent in the future; commends Road Safety Week for promoting steps that everyone can take to stop needless road deaths and injuries year-round; supports the thousands of schools, organisations and communities that are involved in the event each year; welcomes this year's week, and notes hopes that the event will inspire communities to take action on road safety through promoting lifesaving messages during the week and beyond. Supported by: Ben Macpherson*, Jenny Gilruth*
*S5M-08073 James Dornan: Mental Health and Use of Language—That the Parliament notes with regret what it considers the inappropriate language used by Ruth Davidson MSP when she told the Conservative Party conference that they should “get over its nervous breakdown and man up a bit”; considers that this use of language goes against all the good work done by mental health charities, including those in Glasgow, and the Parliament to reduce the stigma associated with mental health; notes calls for Ms Davidson to accept that she and all MSPs should be mindful of the importance of language and the negative consequences that it can have on work being done to improve mental health and that she should apologise to those that it believes she has offended in appearing to minimise their mental health issues, and believes that, in light of recent comments by her colleague Annie Wells MSP, who was reported in The Scotsman to have said "There will always be a place for antidepressants in the health system when it comes to the treatment of a range of mental health conditions....but the increase has got completely out of hand and, after 10 years, the SNP has to do something about this...the nationalists were very clear that reducing the prescription of these drugs would be one of their priorities, but the opposite has happened", there is clearly a considerable way to go in educating some MSPs and the wider public on how the inappropriate use of language can have an impact on people with mental health issues.
