A DELIGHTED Stuart McMillan last night pledged to protect services at Inverclyde Royal Hospital after sweeping to victory in the Scottish Parliamentary election. The re-elected MSP for Greenock and Inverclyde also promised that the SNP government will invest in the fabric of the IRH building which currently needs an estimated £100m worth of repairs. Quizzed about his 2016 election victory comments about his record of fighting for the hospital s services, Mr McMillan said he had been given a clear indication from Nicola Sturgeon that this would be a priority. Mr McMillan told the
Telegraph: The first minister copied me into an email reply to someone a few days ago and she made it very clear that IRH has a future.

A ONE-minute silence to mark the 80th anniversary of the Greenock Blitz will take place during the local election results count. Both events are on May 7 and as a mark of respect the returning officer, council chief executive Aubrey Fawcett, will lead the tribute. The Blitz landmark anniversary events have been scaled back as a result of the pandemic health restrictions, with the Provost laying a wreath at Greenock Cemetery. Voters go to the polls on May 6 but because of the current restrictions the counting of ballots will be conducted the following day at the Waterfront Leisure Centre, instead of overnight.
