Residents are alarmed as the Aberdeenshire Integration Joint Board pushes forward with a public survey to gauge support for permanent closure, despite criticism over misleading info, rushed timing during school holidays, and failure to address historical harm. Community leaders say only demolition is being considered — even though a local group offered to build a modern facility, which was rejected. For elderly and vulnerable patients, losing this vital hub means losing palliative care, chemotherapy, and minor injury treatment — all without meaningful consultation, leaving locals feeling abandoned and unheard.
