THE DISPUTE over the future of out-of-hours nursing care in a remote Lochaber community is expected to be a topic of discussion on Radio Scotland’s phone-in show ‘Call Kaye’ on Monday morning.
Residents of West Ardnamurchan have been fighting to keep hold of their 24-hour district nursing cover for the last year. One of the two district nurses who currently provide cover for the area retires next month. NHS Highland and the Scottish Ambulance Service want her replacement to join a team covering all of west Lochaber,whereas locals want the nurses to be based in Kilchoan.
The latest in a series of meetings between locals and health bosses will be held in Kilchoan Community Centre on February 21.
