PE1890/B - Find solutions to recruitment and training challenges for rural healthcare in Scotland
That we appreciate NHS Highland receive funding for medical staff and training etc. However the Caithness community does not appear to benefit from this additional funding as it is swallowed up by an enormous institution that has a policy of centralising health services to Raigmore with little regard for rural and remote areas within their responsibility.
We urge the Scottish Government to ensure that NHS Highland are being fair with the additional funding and that it is being used to also benefit their rural and remote areas and hold them to account for this.
