Lochaber people showed their commitment to shaping the future of the area’s health and social care at a well-attended workshop in Fort William last Thursday.
The event, run by an external healthcare planner, was held to formally make the strategic case to replace the Belford Hospital with a new rural general hospital on the Blar Mhor site. Some 100 representatives from local communities, members of the public, voluntary and third sector organisations, elected representatives and NHS Highland staff attended the event at the Nevis Centre.
Chief off cer for Highland Health and Social Care Partnership David Park said he was pleased to have a cross-section of views at the workshop.
