Petition presented

By close of business on Friday we had 40 signed letters from parents opposing the proposed changes. Sue and I wrote a covering letter to Cathy Carnell which we sent to her along with the letters, the NHS Board, all Councillors, the press and Audit Scotland.

So far the Western Isles HNS Board have not acknowledged the letter or the problem and seem determined to drive these changes through regardless of the opinion of its "customers".

The Chief Executive of the Comhairle is apparently able to veto these changes, as the agreement with the Comhairle requires him to approve any changes to terms and conditions. Thanks to Cllr Norman L MacDonald for bringing this to my attention.

I'm meeting with the Chief Executive later this week to discuss this issue, to see what he can do about influencing the Board to see sense.

Update 30/3: A total of 49 letters have been received. This represents virtually all the families with children at Little Teddies.
