AN OUTLINE business case for a new hospital on the Isle of Barra has been submitted to the Scottish Government by NHS Western Isles.
The plan, submitted to Health Minister Shona Robison, aims to replace the existing St Brendan’s hospital building in Castlebay which has been deemed ‘not fit for purpose’.
Highlands and Islands MSP Rhoda Grant welcomed the submission, saying plans for the new hospital have been delayed over a number of years.
