In this week’s The Orcadian

This week’s edition of The Orcadian is now available in shops and online.

On the front page, we report that “serious concerns” have been raised by NHS Orkney over what it has dubbed Loganair’s “deteriorating service.”

In the face of recent travel delays and cancellations the chief executive of the health board, Laura Skaife-Knight, has spoken out about the “significant impact” that this is having on both patients and clinicians.

Loganair has, this week, defended its “long and proud history” of helping the NHS and its patients.
