Mr Stevenson said:
“NHS Grampian have had a number of challenges to address over the last number of months, and in December, Healthcare Improvement Scotland identified recommendations for the board to take forward.

The Scottish Government is supporting the changes in NHS Grampian with a £49.1 million increase to the health board’s budget confirmed for the next financial year – equating to a 6.3 per cent rise. This is the highest uplift of any territorial health board within Scotland and will bring NHS Grampian to within one per cent of NRAC parity, the NHS funding formula.
