TOP NEWS Tarves surgery Closure threat.
Three Aberdeenshire Community Councils have expressed shock at a decision of Grampian Health Board that puts local GP surgeries at threat of closure. NHS Grampian have agreed to the withdrawal of dispensing services from Haddo Group surgeries at Pitmedden (Udny) and Tarves following a review after complaints from a new pharmacy connected to Greenock Chemist, James Semple.
Representatives from Udny, Tarves and Methlick Community Councils met in Methlick's Beaton Hall to discuss the implications of the withdrawing dispensing at local surgeries.
As a result, the Community Councils are to seek legal advice on the decision and write to Scottish Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon asking her to intervene because the decision is “perverse” and against the best interests of patients and the NHS as indicated by vast majority of responses by local people to an NHS Consultation.
