Mark Secures Public Meeting on NHS Changes
NHS Lanarkshire will host a public meeting on local health changes in Cumbernauld, following pressure from Mark Griffin MSP.
NHS Lanarkshire was set to hold public meetings in Wishaw, East Kilbride and Airdrie – but North Lanarkshire’s largest town was set to miss out. The meetings are aimed at getting the opinions of members of the public on NHS Lanarkshire's Healthcare Strategy and includes proposed changes to services at Monklands.
Mr Griffin called on NHS Lanarkshire to hold a public meeting in Cumbernauld as part of its consultation into proposed changes at local hospitals and the Health Board have agreed to the request.
Mark said:
“I am pleased that NHS Lanarkshire has listened and that a public meeting will now take place in Cumbernauld.
“Monklands Hospital serves many people in Cumbernauld and any change to the services delivered at the hospital will have an impact on them.
“For years, vital health services have been removed from our community and local people rightly want the opportunity to have their say on this proposed healthcare strategy.
“This public meeting will allow residents to hear the proposals and put their questions and concerns to NHS Lanarkshire officials.”
A date for the meeting has still to be confirmed.
