Attended the consultation before this, complete farce with no intention of listening to residents and no information about nearby A&E also restricting hours (Banff)

This services is quite literally a life saver and isn't a waste of money. Let the mps take a 5% wage cut which would fund the NHS for the next few years

Keep the minor injury unit open 24/7 as this is such an important service for the local community. Aberdeen is too far for many people to travel to, especially when medical help is required more urgently. Keep medical help local.

We need to keep these units open to reduce pressure on busy city A/E departments

I have family in the area so this department is very important to them.

As a disabled person who uses this service quite a lot, I propose we keep this service open, especially as Turriff is a growing area n serves a large area of Aberdeenshire

Totally agree,..too many managers and not enough staff! Turn that on it’s head and the NHS can revert back to functioning as it should.

Management would like to close Turriff Hospital completely and closure of MIU is just another step in the process. There are more managers sitting in the upstairs offices paddling on laptops than there are nurses doing the work. Perhaps fewer managers would allow more money to run essential services such as the MIU.

If we haven't got the guarantee of faster ambulance response times, this cut in services will result in the loss of lives.

Have needed out of hours help 4 times in last 2 months and would have been nightmare to have to go into Aberdeen. We need this facility!

We must retain local services and not centralise in the SNP fashion
