Closing the lab will have a backward step re animal health in the north and north west highlands.

I do not support the closure of the Veterinary services Disease Surveillance and Post Mortem facility in Inverness. This would be a tragic loss to farmers, other organisations and wildlife.

I support Highlands & Islands MSP David Stewart, in his attempts to persuade the Scottish Rural College not to close the Veterinary Services Disease Surveillance and Post Mortem facility in Inverness

I often send stranded cetaceans to the Inverness post mortem facility and i think it is really important the job that the marine stranding do there. Inverness is so central.

It is important that this facility stays open, everything is getting moved to Edinburgh, there will be nothing left up here.

A much-needed safety net should not be discarded.We need more disease surveillance, not less.

this is a short-sighted proposal. what about local, devolved services. proposed move would make service unavailable to many.Dire potential consequences.

The closure of this facility would directly impact on a 4th year module for the Countryside Management degree at SRUC despite all of the other deliterious effects it would have.

In addition to the essential services to farmers, this site also hosts and provides the post-mortem facilities for the Scottish Marine Animals Stranding Scheme

The work done at Inverness vet centre is crucial, both in terms of farm livestock monitoring and investigation but also the essential work of cetacean strandings monitoring. Inverness is the logical and ideal situation for vets to travel all round the northern Highlands and it does not make sense to move this to a less effective location which would entail longer travelling distances. The cetacean monitoring depend on people reporting stranded mammals, and delays caused by extended travelling distances would have a major effect on their ability to diagnose cause of death. It does not make sense to force a costly move that is likely to lose well-trained and effective staff, and that would also cause a less efficient and effective service.

This vital service should be kept open here in the north of Scotland. Too many services are being located far to the south, to the detriment of livestock/research etc.

Keep this facility open, it provides a very worthwhile service.
