Thyroid Awareness Day on 25 May

  • Submitted by: Elaine Smith, Central Scotland, Scottish Labour.
  • Date lodged: Monday, 18 May 2020
  • Motion reference: S5M-21790

That the Parliament acknowledges International Thyroid Awareness Day on 25 May 2020, which starts Thyroid Awareness Week; considers that, despite ongoing parliamentary debates and petitions in the UK, people, the majority of whom are women, are still not being fully listened to; acknowledges that the COVID-19 pandemic is adding to this challenge; appreciates the work being done by charities, such as the Thyroid Trust and Thyroid UK, in supporting people to fully understand and manage the disease, and hopes that Thyroid Awareness Day will help encourage ministers and health providers to ensure that all people with thyroid disorders are given full and easy access to all options of treatment, including Liothyronine.
