Scottish Parliament: Chronic Pain Services (16 Nov 2022)

Monica Lennon: .... They went to England and paid for their own treatment, travel and accommodation. The previous health minister said that they could probably get that money back, but they have not received a penny. It is not fair, and I hope that the Government will still try to address that. Time is short, but I have a couple more things to say. Self-management has been talked about and it is important,...

Scottish Parliament: Suppressing Covid: The Next Phase (12 May 2020)

Monica Lennon: ...other thing that we need to do is call out blatant profiteering when we see it. It is not the fault of the Government, but it is happening. There are suppliers based in Scotland that were charging pennies for a box of masks just a matter of weeks ago but are now charging £25 for the same box. We need to call that out. I have been deeply distressed by the experience of many people who have...

Scottish Parliament: Budget (Scotland) (No 2) Bill: Stage 3 (21 Feb 2018)

Monica Lennon: ...tax plans would raise more than £540 million more than the proposals in the budget, while ensuring that the richest would pay their fair share and that 70 per cent of taxpayers would not pay a penny more.

Scottish Parliament: Budget (Scotland) (No 2) Bill: Stage 1 (31 Jan 2018)

Our plans, just like the SNP’s, would ensure that those who are earning up to £33,000 would not pay a penny more in tax than they do at the moment. However, unlike the SNP, we plan to ask the very richest in our society to pay their fair share. By dropping the threshold for the 45p rate to £60,000...

Scottish Parliament: Inclusive Education ( 2 Nov 2017)

Monica Lennon: ...but I remain to be convinced that the content of that guidance will bring about the change that we need right across Scotland, and all the improvements that we want. For example, not a single extra penny has been identified for providing more support to our young people. Without resources to back up the sentiments, it is difficult to see how progress can begin. That said, I am encouraged...

Scottish Parliament: Education Governance (28 Jun 2017)

Monica Lennon: ...our teachers to do their job on the ground. Daniel Johnson made an excellent point: where is the analysis of the impact of falling resources? With not a single extra teacher or a single extra penny being promised to deliver the reforms, it is difficult to see how the system-based reforms will remedy the problems of resources, teacher numbers and teacher time. We welcome from the reforms...
