Meeting with staff from Marie Curie, Mr Stevenson was interested to hear about the care and support provided to people living with a terminal illness in Scotland.
Marie Curie supported over 7,500 people in Scotland last year through their hospices, nursing care and support services. In North-east Scotland last year, 89% of patients cared for by Marie Curie died in their place of choice.
Everyone donating and wearing a daffodil pin in March helps Marie Curie provide vital care for people living with a terminal illness and support for their families. Marie Curie hopes to raise £700,000 this Great Daffodil Appeal.
Stewart Stevenson MSP said:
“Marie Curie has 56 nurses and 110 volunteers in NHS Grampian who provides care and support to people living with a terminal illness across the North-east.
“The work carried out by Marie Curie nurses is exceptional, and the Great Daffodil Appeal is vital to generate the funds needed to carry out the work that they do.
“I hope everyone in Scotland will get behind the daffodil and join me in supporting people living with a terminal illness by donating and wearing a daffodil pin. Your support will help them provide more free hands-on care and emotional support to people living with a terminal illness and their families.”
