Update on Waverley Care’s Highland and Argyll and Bute services
NHS Highland has recently completed a detailed review of its contract with Waverley Care and explored their options for the future delivery of these services.
After careful consideration, NHS Highland has decided not to retender a contract to seek an external provider. Instead, they plan to bring the services in-house, with delivery anticipated to begin within NHS Highland starting January 2025.
Waverley Care’s Inverness office has now closed, and our Highland, Argyll, and Bute-specific services have ended.
