I reflect on the fact that, in Mr Gibson's cursory involvement in the matter—he has written three letters to me on the issue—he has not mentioned the true value of services to patients in the Western Isles. In my visit to the Western Isles during the review, I saw the huge effort that is being put in by the staff and the huge benefit that patients are getting from the services.I want the issues to be resolved, but they are best resolved locally.
