General Question Time
General Practice Service Capacity (NHS Grampian)
Gray, Neil SNP Airdrie and Shotts Watch on SPTV

I am aware of the pressures, and I echo the member’s thanks to staff in NHS Grampian for their commitment, their hard work and their dedication to providing the best care possible.

There are people still waiting too long in Grampian and elsewhere, and that is not good enough. Our budget provides a record £21.7 billion for health and social care, with more than £100 million to tackle the longest waits. NHS Grampian is receiving more than £9 million to support specialties that have the longest wait times, and we have established an assurance board to agree an improvement plan.

Grampian has also welcomed a new chief executive this week, and we will ensure that the board has support to deliver the plan and address any further opportunities for improvement.
