Motion to request a referendum on full health devolution

The Parliament recognises:

1. The important role the Scottish Parliament has played in improving Scottish democracy and society since its creation in 1999

2. The need for the work of the Scottish Parliament to be fearless, and be willing to request extension to its power when needed

The Parliament expresses its discontent:

1. That Schedule 5, Head J of the Scotland Act 1998 currently stipulates that the Scottish parliament may not legislate on issues of xenotransplantation, surrogacy, embryology, genetics and areas of medicine.
2. That these areas noted above were not included within the Scotland Act 2016

The Parliament thus:

1. Officially requests to the Westminster government that a referendum be held on the issue of full health devolution within 6 months of this motion passing

This Motion was authored and submitted by the Baroness of Motherwell (/u/Youmaton) MBE PC MSP, Member of the Scottish Parliament for East Lothian, on behalf of the Scottish Labour Party, and is co-sponsored by the Scottish Socialist Party, People’s Unity Party and Scottish Reformist Party

EDIT: The debate of this motion ends on the 27th July at the end of business. The vote will begin the following day.
