Scot Gov depopulation report undersells scale of the challenge

Jamie Stone MP

Responding to the Scottish Government’s Addressing Depopulation Action Plan launched today, Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross MP Jamie Stone said:

“I wish the Scottish Government pursued the delivery of reliable local health services with the enthusiasm that it launches reports which never lead to anything.

“People who live in the Highlands and islands have been clear about what we need.

“That starts with improved roads, universal fast broadband and the provision of homes so that local people are not forced out of the area.

“Simply badging up the government’s existing work as a plan for the future and calling it a day massively undersells the scale of the challenge.”
