The motion

That the Parliament recognises what it sees as the importance of Dr Gray's Hospital to residents in Moray, including the crucial role that the hospital plays in delivering healthcare for people in the north east; further recognises the excellent work of clinicians and staff at Dr Gray's, who face increasing pressures due to changing demographics and a rise in complex care needs; recognises calls that people in Moray should be able to access services as close to home as possible; considers the important work underway to restore a consultant-led maternity service in Elgin by the end of 2026; acknowledges the longstanding campaign for an MRI scanner for Moray to reduce the need for patients to travel to access this service; notes the view that NHS Grampian must ensure, both now and in future, that Dr Gray's delivers the services required to meet the needs of the Moray population; considers Dr Gray's to be an integral part of healthcare delivery in the Grampian region, and acknowledges the position that investment in services and infrastructure at Dr Gray's must be a priority for NHS Grampian so that it can deliver the very best care for the people of Moray and the wider region.
