Holyrood childcare provision 'doesn't make sense' - Forbes
Kate Forbes, the Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch MSP, has announced that she will not seek re-election next year. Forbes has been a prominent figure in the Scottish political landscape, serving as the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and the Economy. In her announcement, Forbes stated that the childcare provision at Holyrood, the Scottish Parliament, "doesn't make sense" for her family. This suggests that the current policies and arrangements for childcare at the parliament have been challenging for her as a working parent. Forbes' decision not to run for re-election raises questions about the work-life balance and family-friendly policies within the Scottish political system. Her comments highlight the need for policymakers to consider the needs of working parents and to ensure that the parliamentary environment is inclusive and supportive for individuals with caregiving responsibilities.
