Scottish politicians urge First Minister to visit Caithness to see patients' struggle for healthcare access.

Highland politicians are urging Scottish First Minister John Swinney to travel the 100-mile journey from Caithness to Inverness to understand the struggles patients face in accessing healthcare. A report by the Scottish Human Rights Commission revealed that 14,000 patients annually travel to Inverness for care due to the lack of local maternity and gynaecological services. The politicians and local leaders are calling for the restoration of consultant-led maternity services at Caithness General Hospital to address these critical issues.
