Again good point, Im not to up on medical services delivered locally..... issues problems etc but Ive glanced at the NHS thread on here and there is some interesting stuff on there, you should take a look, and your right, an aging population like most of the country.....minimising travel inconvenience should be top of the agenda, puuting the needs of patients first as fard as is possible, and of course more local control and say in services, I maybe wrong but it seems that the health agenda is driven by NHS Highland ( Inverness ) ?
