Council v Health Board v Minister
The outraged press release from the Vice-Convener about the proposed linkage between the Highland and Western Isles Health Board betrays either false anger or the fact that Angus Campbell is being kept in the dark.
I understand that this matter has been discussed by the Chair of the Health Board and the Chief Executive of the Comhairle,and that the Council's representative on the Health Board was fully aware of the discussions (did he attend the meetings?) without the knowledge of the Board or the elected Councillors.
The picture becomes less and less clear.....
But let's start with some simple questions -- How long has this been being discussed by the parties? And how long has it been on the agenda?
(Updated for more information about what has been going on)

"We anticipated closer integration of services with the Health Board rather than the Health Board strengthening ties with mainland Health Authorities."
Why not do both? Nothing mutually exclusive there. Perhaps over defensive on some of the initiatives so far. The supposed joint development at Carloway behind the GP surgery is a white elephant of the first water. Very well heated though. I doubt anyone is counting the pennies or turning down the thermostat there....

Or perhaps a land grab by diminutive local ploticians (sic) has been avoided?
