Progress on proposed maternity services upgrade

P锘縧ans to upgrade maternity and neonatal services at the largest hospital in the Highlands have moved a step forward.

N锘縃S Highland's board has approved a business case for the proposed improvements to facilities at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness.

T锘縣e health board will now seek 拢5m in funding support from the Scottish government.

T锘縣e proposals, which also require additional staff, are partly designed to help cope with more women from the neighbouring region of Moray coming to Raigmore to give birth.
