The organisation, which supports the Armed Forces community in Scotland, has outlined a number of recommendations to parliamentarians in its manifesto.
This includes the creation of a Veterans’ Patients Satisfaction Survey and the establishment of a Veterans’ Housing Action Group with powers to review challenging cases.
Due to current lockdown restrictions, an online event was held for MSPs to attend virtually. Commenting, Stewart Stevenson MSP said:
“I was delighted to attend the event launching Poppyscotland’s manifesto ahead of the Scottish elections later this year.
“The work the organisation does on behalf of the Armed Forces community in the north-east and right across Scotland is important and necessary.
“The men and women who serve in our armed forces at this very moment are helping to support the role out of the vaccination process helping to protect those most in need.
“We must listen to the voices of those who have served – and continue to serve – and support them as much as we can.”
