Meeting of the Parliament 19 March 2026 [Draft]

Item of business
General Question Time
Neonatal Intensive Care Units
Minto, Jenni SNP Argyll and Bute Watch on SPTV

There have been extensive discussions with NHS boards about plans to improve care for the smallest and sickest babies by implementing the new model of neonatal intensive care. Following the announcement of the new model in July 2023, I asked regional chief executives to lead on the development of regional implementation plans. Implementation groups were established in each region, including clinicians, partnership and service users. The regional chief executives also established a task and finish group to take forward work to inform implementation, including maternity workforce modelling, financial modelling, cot capacity planning, and management and communication.
