Labour MSP Karen Whitefield has attempted to withdraw amendments to the Public Service Reform Bill which sought to create a national strategy for Scotland's disabled children.

Hugh O'Donnell MSP with Liberal Democrat colleagues demanded a vote take place, consequently the amendments were not passed by Parliament.

Commenting, Hugh O'Donnell said:

"Labour tried to bury the national disabled children strategy.

"This is a crying shame. Scotland's disabled children need a national strategy to properly address their needs."
