The public has been invited to suggest questions that a government minister will put to health officials next month.
Each year Scottish Government ministers review health boards and the annual session for NHS Highland will be held on September 29.
The public is invited to attend the afternoon session from 2-3pm either online or in Inverness.
While it is not possible to ask questions during the session, members of the public can submit questions in advance.
For the past few years, this review has been held virtually due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This year, it is returning to the in-person format and will be chaired by Jenni Minto MSP.
NHS Highland chair Sarah Compton-Bishop said, “We’re delighted to be able to welcome the Minister for Public Health and Women’s Health to NHS Highland, and to be able to invite the public to join us either in person or virtually.
“This will be an opportunity for us to explain the progress we’ve made in the aftermath of the pandemic, and outline some of the challenges faced by NHS boards, particularly in remote and rural areas.”
“Please send in your questions. The minister will ask a selection of these at the public meeting and we will post answers to others online.”
Questions should be emailed to nhsh.listening@nhs.scot, with ‘Annual Review’ in the subject line by August 28.
There is no need to book if you wish to attend the public meeting: just go to the Centre for Health Science, in the grounds of Raigmore Hospital, Old Perth Road, Inverness IV2 3JH for 2pm.
Details of how to watch the online livestream of the meeting will be made available nearer the time.
