MSPs salute Scots military nurses' effort

MSP Jeremy Purvis joined Major JA Ritchie and Deborah Hamilton at the Nurses' Day event at the Scottish Parliament yesterday.

To mark Nurses' Day, the Royal College of Nursing Scotland brought military and defence nurses from across Scotland to the Parliament to meet MSPs.

They highlighted defence nurses' work, caring for British servicemen and women.

To celebrate the day, Mr Purvis also lodged a motion calling for MSPs to recognise the courage and dedication of military nurses.
