“Patient safety must be the top priority and we support the Cabinet Secretary Jeane Freeman’s decision to delay the move until patient safety can be assured. It is however extremely disappointing that these concerns had not been picked up before now and that the decision to delay the move was taken at such a late stage. We will be supporting nursing staff at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, the Department of Clinical Neurosciences at the Western General Hospital and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital to understand the implications delaying the move will have for them and the patients they care for.”
