Edit Profilepolitician Member of the Scottish Parliament
Career
She was a Scottish National Party Member of the Scottish Parliament for the West of Scotland region from 1999 to 2003. She was a school swimming instructor from 1973-1981. She also worked as a school social worker (1984-1986), hospital social worker (1986-1992) and court social worker (1992-1997).
She took early retirement in 1997.
Ullrich contested numerous elections for the Scottish National Party: in Cunninghame South (in 1983 and 1987) and Motherwell South (1992), before coming a close second in the Monklands East by-election, 1994. In the 1999 election she stood as a constituency candidate in Cunninghame North, where she was runner-up to Allan Wilson.
However her number two position on the Scottish National Party West of Scotland list was enough to take her to Holyrood. She was initially the Scottish National Party"s shadow minister for Health and Community Care, and was then appointed Chief Whip upon John Swinney becoming Scottish National Party leader in 2000.
She stood down at the 2003 election.
