Meeting
with IRH Unions Helps Map Out Next Steps
MSP
for Greenock and Inverclyde, Duncan McNeil, has again met with health service
unions at Inverclyde Royal Hospital to discuss the next phase of the campaign
against Argyll and Clyde Health Board’s discredited Clinical Strategy.
Speaking
after the meeting, Mr McNeil said:
“The
efforts of trade unions, medical professionals, elected representatives and the
community at large have had some success in knocking down the Board’s plans.
I don’t think anyone now seriously believes that the strategy as
currently drafted is the way forward for our health services.
“But
knocking down these flawed plans is only the first step.
The next challenge is to build up our own arguments and make the case for
the sort of health service we want to see.
“I
am sure that the unions will play an important role in this – just as they did
in exposing the damage which centralising services at Paisley would inflict on
our community.”
