Maternity Services at Dr Gray's

Lodged by Douglas Ross Members' Business Motion 26 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes with concern reports that Moray women and families are now in the fifth winter of living with what it considers downgraded maternity services; believes that this is unacceptable and notes the view that the full focus of the Scottish Government and NHS Grampian should be on delivering on model six, which is a return to a consultant-led maternity unit in Elgin; acknowledges the reported significant objections from campaigners and clinicians to model four, which is a community maternity unit linked mainly to Raigmore; understands that clinicians have stated that plans for model four are "predicated on a transparently and wildly inaccurate underestimate of the number of Moray patients who would deliver at Raigmore Hospital", and that they are "fundamentally flawed"; believes that NHS Grampian will detail its plan for model six at a meeting of its board on 15 December 2022, and notes the view that the Parliament should have an early opportunity to debate this plan and hear the Scottish Government's response to it.
