Respiratory Assessment and COVID-19 Treatment Resource
Published on 30 March 2020
Following a request by NHS Western Isles — and given the limited resources on Barra and Vatersay and its distance from hospital resources — it has been agreed, as a precautionary measure, to set up a resource in Castlebay School and Leisure Centre.
In addition, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar will work with the community to establish a local Shielding and support resource to coordinate all Local Authority and Community resources.
No COVID-19 cases have yet been identified in the Western Isles. At this stage these actions are all precautionary and will be implemented as a resilience measure to ensure resources, service protocols and training are in place should they be required.
