NHS Borders Annual Review

Monday 11 September 2023 

14:00-15:00 

The Great Tapestry of Scotland, 14-20 High Street, Galashiels, TD1 1SD  

 

Don’t forget, the NHS Borders Annual Review is scheduled to take place on 11 September 2023 and will be conducted by Ms Jenni Minto MSP, Minister for Public Health and Women’s Health who will be accompanied by Caroline Lamb, Director General Health & Social Care and Chief Executive of NHS Scotland. 

We are currently facing unprecedented challenges in planning and delivering healthcare services in the Borders. We have significant workforce and financial challenges, so we need to start doing things differently. This may mean making some difficult decisions about the services we provide.  

The review is an opportunity for members of the public to hear and ask questions about the Board’s performance in 2022/23 and future plans. The session will include a presentation from our Chair, Karen Hamilton, followed by an open question and answer session.
