The announcement yesterday by Shona Robison on the closure of the children's ward at the RAH is an utter disaster on lots of levels.
The new children's hospital is already unable to cope and just the other week had to transfer children to the RAH because of this. Now the next nearest children's hospital is Edinburgh.
Children will die because of this decision. The excuses being touted are just disgusting.
The fact that the staff found this out via the media shows the absolute rank hopelessness or Robison. She's out of her depth and should either be sacked or resign to hopefully let someone with a brain take over.
I'll be contacting my MP and MSP as well as my local Councillor to point out that they have definitely lost votes because of this and they have also lost a family's worth of campaign helpers from my house.
I won't support them if they can't support the weakest in our community.
Raging doesn't come close.
