NHS Grampian (Deficit)
Kerr, Liam Con North East Scotland Watch on SPTV

I thank the cabinet secretary for his answer and welcome him back to the chamber. I am pleased to see him back. [Applause.]

NHS Grampian is staring into the abyss, following years of underfunding. In Aberdeen, £14.5 million-worth of cuts mean that the Rosewell House rehabilitation centre will close and budgets at city care homes will be slashed by £3 million. In Aberdeenshire, £5.7 million of savings includes a £1 million cut from prescribing and another £1 million in service redesign. Now, NHS Grampian chiefs need to cut a further £177 million over the next five years.

Does the cabinet secretary agree that the £300 million shortfall that NHS Grampian experiences under the national resource allocation committee formula is outrageous, and that the next Government must review it urgently to ensure a fair share for the north-east?
