A replacement for the Belford Hospital in Fort William was one of the topics raised by Lochaber MSP Kate Forbes when she met with NHS Highland’s new chief executive this week.
The meeting came just days after Iain Stewart started in his new post of running Scotland’s largest health board, with Ms Forbes determined to keep up the pressure on the campaign for reliable and local healthcare for West Highlanders.
Mr Stewart spent an hour with Ms Forbes discussing the ongoing healthcare challenges, mainly in Portree, Raasay and Glenelg, but the situation in Lochaber was also touched on.
