A grateful mum has thanked NHS Ayrshire & Arran for “exceptional clinical care” after travelling to Crosshouse Hospital on a 100-mile trip to give birth following a lack of resources on Tayside.

Nada Wilson, who lives in Brechin, had to be transferred from Ninewells Hospital in Dundee last October because of the unavailability of a neo-natal bed.

She told the board she wished to express her sincere thanks for the “exceptional clinical care”, birthing experience and emotional support provided by all staff in the Ayrshire Maternity Unit.

Nada, 41, shared her story in her own words in a video story played at the June meeting and expressed her sincere thanks for the “exceptional clinical care” birthing experience and emotional support provided by all staff in the Ayrshire Maternity Unit.
