We have, on 19th March, written to the Scottish First Minister to raise serious concerns regarding the ongoing closure of in-patient beds and services at Insch War Memorial Hospital, and the proposal to declare the building surplus to requirements.
The letter highlights concerns around a lack of due process, limited community engagement, and the impact on patient care and local services in a rural area. It also calls for a pause on any plans for disposal until a full and transparent assessment of the service changes is carried out.
