Replacement for the Gilbert Bain Hospital
The motion
That the Parliament calls on the Scottish Government to commit to a full, new-build replacement of the Gilbert Bain Hospital in Shetland; notes that the existing hospital was opened in 1961 and has faced severe weathering and degradation in the decades since; believes that this risks leaving health services in Shetland in an unacceptable situation unless action is taken; commends NHS Shetland staff for their dedication and commitment to high quality services despite the challenges facing them; believes that island communities such as Shetland deserve world-class healthcare as much as any part of Scotland, and calls on the Scottish Government ministers to engage urgently with NHS Shetland and deliver a new-build hospital for Shetland.
