Independent External View of Skye, Lochalsh and South-West Ross Out of Hours Services: Final Progress Report

I was originally tasked to undertake an independent review of out of hours (OOH) services in Skye Lochalsh and South-West Ross (SLSWR) in November 2017, by the then Chair of NHS Highland, Dr David Alston. I undertook that review in good faith, over the period February to May 2018, supported by many health and social care colleagues and other public services agencies, public representatives from SLSWR and the welcome support of civil servant colleagues within Scottish Government. More than seven years have now passed since my original commission, so it is now time to take final stock.
