NHS Orkney annual review

NHS Orkney’s annual review took place, in public, this afternoon.

Chaired by John Ross Scott, the event included a presentation by chief executive Cathie Cowan on the key challenges and successes faced by the organisation. Among the achievements Mrs Cowan highlighted were exceeding the national targets for A&E waiting times, the referral to treatment waiting time guarantee, cancer targets, and meeting the new maximum outpatient wait from referral target.

The meeting, in the Saltire Room at the Balfour Hospital, was recorded and available for viewing on the board website.
