I am delighted that NHS Highland has listened to the voice of the local community and has reversed the decision to withdrawn funding for Nairn Hydrotherapy Pool. This is a vital local service helping local residents with conditions such as arthritis and related rheumatic complaints and I was very impressed at the work carried out by the team when I recently visited the pool.
I would like to thank everyone who got involved in the campaign to retain the service, especially all those who took the time to write to me about their experiences of the pool and to explain why the service is so important to them. I have written to NHS Highland to thank them for listening to the local community and to welcome the decision to retain the pool for a minimum of three years.
