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

They turned what was such a disastrous situation into such a wonderful experience. Nada Wilson
