McNeil Comments on Health Board's Finances
Speaking following remarks by the Health Minister regarding the financial situation of Argyll and Clyde Health Board, MSP for Greenock and Inverclyde, Duncan McNeil, said:

"First of all, along with the Minister, I am concerned about the welfare and treatment of patients.

"But, if we are to continue to plough record investment into the NHS, Boards cannot continue to mismanage and lose it.

"The sacking of their predecessors should leave the current Board in no doubt that financial mismanagement will not be tolerated.  Indeed, under questioning from me at the Parliament’s Health Committee yesterday, the Minister refused rule out scrapping Argyll and Clyde Health Board."
