Closing the Inverness Facility means we have no local service which is so important for disease surveillance,and these services must be retained in the local area. Centrallisation is not the answer if we are to be prepared for any possible disease threat.

It is totally an essential part of Inverness for the farmers. If the powers that be feel it more important to sell the land, why can't they find the veterinary concern new premises???

Please do not close a centre, vital to 25% of Scotlands holdings.

So stupid so close this facility leaving a massive geographical gap in the country for surveillance of disease.

As a veterinary surgeon, I find it hard to be believe that the health and welfare of production animals in the areas covered by this centre won't be affected.

This vital service needs to be kept open for the Highlands

Be a disaster for the Highlands to close the Vet Lab in Inverness.

Its essential to keep the disease surveillance centre open in the capital of the highlands...without it farming is no longer viable

We need the Highlands to be as self sufficient as possible. Too much effort is being centralised.

Places like these are really needed especially in The Highlands and Islands. Please dont close this facility.
