Keith Brown MSP for Clackmannanshire and Dunblane said:

“I was pleased to receive confirmation from the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care on Wednesday that NHS Forth Valley will be moving to level 3 on the NHS Scotland support and Intervention Framework on the 1st of October. 

“NHS Forth Valley was moved to level 4 in November 2022, due to concerns relating to governance, leadership and culture in the organisation. 

“I am glad that progress has been made in improving our NHS operation locally since then – ensuring that NHS Forth Valley can now move to level 3 – an indication that there has been significant progress made in improving the governance, leadership and culture in NHS forth valley. 

“I would like to put on record my thanks to all hardworking NHS staff in Forth Valley, and across Scotland for making this improvement in the organisation of our local NHS.”
