Tonight will see the first of three public meetings held in the county to discuss the plans to build a new hospital and supporting healthcare facilities at Corse West, Kirkwall.

Tonight’s meeting will start at 7pm and will be held in King Street Halls, Kirkwall. This will be followed by  a meeting in the Stromness town hall on Tuesday, July 9, with a final public meeting taking place on the following Thursday, July 11, in the St Andrews community hall.
