Grantown Good News Story
I was delighted to join fellow MSPs, Grantown Medical Practice staff and local campaigners yesterday to announce that the refurbishment work to the practice will continue and no longer face delay.
After a cross-party political campaign, significant local support and strength of feeling, the Scottish Government have signalled that the Grantown Medical Practice refurbishment can continue after initially pausing the construction, which is at an advanced stage. This is great news. I want to thank all of those who were involved in the campaign, as well as those who I worked alongside to push for this capital project to continue. It was reassuring that the case of Grantown, where pausing the capital project may have cost more in the long term rather than finishing as planned, signals a measured approach where capital projects can be judged on a case-by-case basis.
