Joint Statement on Behalf of Council Leader, Raymond Bremner, Convener, Bill Lobban and Leader of the Opposition, Alasdair Christie.

‘Today Highland Council took an important step forward in its plans to sustain care provision in the Lochaber Area. In a confidential paper to council, various options were considered that could ensure that there is minimum disruption to residents of Moss Park Nursing Home.

While there are a lot of sensitive matters still to deal with and no guarantees at this stage, there is now hope that a solution can be found by the partnership between Highland Council and NHS Highland.

As there are still so many issues remaining unresolved, NHS Highland’s core team and its partners will continue to ensure that everyone is focused on the best interests and well-being of all residents.

Further communications regarding progress on this important matter will be provided in due course, with communications with residents and families being our key priority.’
