Out of Hours Services in Fife

Fife Health and Social Care Partnership say they have not got enough qualified ‘Primary Care medical staff and GPs’ to operate the ‘Out of Hours’ services overnight and as a result have closed the ‘Out of Hours’ overnight services in the Queen Margaret Hospital, Dunfermline, Glenrothes Hospital, and St Andrews Community Hospital.

Anyone from Fife needing to access the ‘Out of Hours’ medical services these hospitals provide between midnight and 8am will have to get themselves to the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy. I say, this is not acceptable.

Below you can see the letter I have sent to the Cabinet Secretary outlining my concerns and urging her to take action on the issue:

Below you can also see the letter that I sent to the Director of Health & Social Care at Fife Council:
