To ask the Scottish Executive what plans it has to address local concerns in relation to the continued suitability of Arran War Memorial Hospital to adequately serve the needs of the island; whether there are any plans to provide the Isle of Arran with a new hospital, and whether any consideration has been given to the availability of land for any such development. This is a matter for Ayrshire and Arran Primary Care NHS Trust, which is responsible for providing health services on Arran.I understand that NHS Ayrshire and Arran are in the process of developing a long-term property strategy.
