Question
To ask the Scottish Government when the report of the independent review of maternity services in Moray is due to be published.
Answer
The independent review of Moray Maternity Services has reported to Ministers and has been published today at https://www.gov.scot/publications/report-moray-maternity-services-review/ . I would like to thank Ralph Roberts and the review team for a comprehensive and well written report, and for undertaking the extensive programme of engagement to hear the voices of local people and staff in Moray. I would also like to thank local service users, MSPs, staff and leaders in NHS Grampian and NHS Highland for contributing their time, their views and their experiences that underpin the report. I intend as soon as possible, and when Parliamentary Business allows, to make a statement to Parliament on this issue, and to visit Moray to discuss the findings of the report with NHS Grampian staff, local people and local MSPs.
