NHS Highland to hold annual review in Wick
NHS Highland’s Annual Review will take place in Wick and will be hosted by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing Shona Robison.
The performance of all NHS boards is reviewed by the Scottish Government at Annual Reviews, which provide an opportunity for boards to highlight their achievements and discuss issues with the Cabinet Secretary, the Scottish Government and patients in the local area.
Last year, NHS Highland’s Annual Review was held in Fort William, and in 2013 it was staged in Inverness.
This year, NHS Highland asked the Cabinet Secretary to consider holding it in Wick in September.
Wick was suggested in recognition of the particular challenges the board faces in delivering services in Caithness.
