The health boards are listed in alphabetical order, followed by the name of the MSPs, their party and the constituency or region they represent. The boundaries of health boards and parliamentary constituencies do not coincide, so some constituencies overlap into two or more health boards. Where this happens the MSP representing the constituency will be listed under all relevant health boards. Similarly, where the boundary of a Scottish Parliament region overlaps into two or more health boards all of the MSPs elected to represent that region will be listed under all relevant health boards.

    Edinburgh, Morningside Branch Community Engagement We’re closing our Edinburgh, Morningside branch on 16 September 2020. In our Branch Review we’ve published details of why we’ve decided to close this branch and the local information we’ve gathered about the area. This was shared with our customers and Partners. You can view this at tsb.co.uk/our-branches We’ve also written to customers who use this branch, to let them know about the changes. We always let customers know about these changes at least 12 weeks before the branch closure takes place. This makes sure we have time to talk with them about banking options, especially for customers who require additional support with the closure. As part of our Branch Review we’ve also talked with the local community about the impact of the closure and how we can help customers with this change. This Community Engagement summary explains who we contacted in the local community and any feedback we received about the closure. Who we contacted Edinburgh, We shared information with key members of the local community shown below about how customers’ use of the branch has changed, what other TSB branches are nearby Morningside is and how we are working with the Post Office® to provide banking alternatives.

Regional: Alison Johnstone MSP; Andy Wightman MSP; Sarah Boyack MSP; Neil Findlay MSP; Gordon Lindhurst MSP; Miles Briggs MSP; Jeremy Balfour MSP. Cc: Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister Aileen Campbell, Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Local Government Jean Freeman, Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport Ben Macpherson, Minister for Public Finance and Migration Kevin Stewart, Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning Paul Johnson, Director General for Education, Communities and Justice Dear Members of the Scottish Parliament, RE: FOOD FUND DEPLETION AND THE EFFECT UPON VULNERABLE CITIZENS • The Scottish Government investment through the Food Fund in Edinburgh is depleted following the provision of approximately 27,000 meals per week to many of our Capital’s most vulnerable people. This has been carried out by numerous small local organisations with coordination support through the Edinburgh Third Sector Interface. • Despite the best efforts of City of Edinburgh Council, we are currently not being made aware of any plans, from Scottish Government, to deliver a further investment into this fund – which will run out before Monday 15th June 2020 – leaving thousands of vulnerable people at significant risk. • The risks include the obvious health and social care challenges but perhaps more importantly, potentially forcing those who are at increased risk of serious illness or those who could potentially infect others to leave isolation to go to supermarkets, utilise public transport or attend food banks.
