MSP Comments On St Drostran's Care Home

7 July 2006

PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Use

Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson attended the public meeting in Mintlaw where local residents turned out in force to express their concern at Aberdeenshire Council’s plan to close St Drostan’s care home.

During the meeting, Mr Stevenson said that the issue had been characterised by a lack of communication from the council to the local community on its plans and council officials agreed to address this.

Commenting after the meeting, Mr Stevenson said:

      “Any decision must allow rural people to stay in rural areas if that’s their wish and not to be forced to move to a large town.

      “It’s clear that communication with the community has been inadequate and it’s now up to the council to lay the facts before the community so that they can make an assessment of any options that they wish to consider.

      “Clearly, the residents of St Drostans are the ones who will be most affected by any change, any move and their wishes must be absolutely paramount in decisions that are going to be made.”
