Motion Text

That this House is aware that NHS Highlands' largest hospital, Raigmore, has received code black status; is concerned that health staff in the Highlands are facing unprecedented levels of demand due to the increase in covid-19 cases and hospital admissions; notes that those pressures are in part due to the downgrading of other local healthcare facilities in the Far North; and calls on the Scottish Government and UK Government to work together to support NHS Highland.
