NHS Grampian in U-turn over scrapping free nappies

by Erin

Nappies will still be provided for babies born in NHS Grampian hospitals following a U-turn by the health board.

A recovery plan aimed at identifying savings for the year ahead had suggested stopping the provision of disposable nappies.

At a meeting of the NHS Grampian's board on Thursday, it was decided that the £8,000 saving should be found from elsewhere in the service.

The approved plan to save £23m will see some services stopped or reduced on public holidays, as well as cuts to spiritual care.
