The new £150m hospital for children in Edinburgh may have to be "ripped down" amid safety concerns, a senior trade union official has warned.

He also claimed NHS Lothian had paid millions of pounds in a settlement to help resolve some of the problems.

The health board said reviews into the delay are already under way.Scotland's health secretary has offered assurances over Edinburgh's problem-hit new £150m children's hospital.

The Lib Dem candidate fought off a strong challenge from the SNP to hold Shetland in a Holyrood by-election.

She succeeds Tavish Scott, who had been MSP for the constituency since 1999 in what was Scotland's safest seat.

Ms Wishart polled 5,659 votes, ahead of SNP candidate Tom Wills on 3,822, a majority of 1,837.

Labour MSP David Stewart asks about the new funding formula for the GP contract and asks if it underestimates the needs of rural areas.

Boyd Peters says NHS Highland is working with GPs to implement the contract.

He adds there is work looking at how the contract can be best placed in remote and rural settings, where the challenges are different.

The NHS Highland medical director points out much of the effect of the contract will be on non-doctor primary care staff.

SNP MSP David Torrance wonders if NHS Highland has seen a decline in migrant workers.

At the moment we have not seen that, replies Iain Stewart.

However a decline in migrant workers in care homes will have a huge knock-on effect for the health board by increasing pressure on acute services, Mr Stewart warns.

We are working with non-NHS partners to ensure care staff have leave to remain, he adds.

Boyd Peters says many workers have been reassured by the statement from parliament about support in a post-Brexit world.

Iain Stewart explains tackling unnecessary hospital admissions are more important than dealing with delayed discharges.

David Park pivots to post-acute patients not quite ready for discharge where they are looking to help pull them from the hospital rather than push them.

The NHS Highland chief officer accepts the health board's delayed discharge record is not as good as other areas.

Convener Lewis Macdonald asks about the two different systems for delivering health and social care integration operating in NHS Highland.

David Park explains many people in the region have never experienced a non-integrated system.

Integration in north Highland has been established for some time, he states, adding that the areas where it has worked best is with multi-function teams.

The agreement with Highland Council is due to expire in March 2020, but discussions about renewing are ongoing Mr Park tells the committee.

Tory MSP Miles Briggs wonders about discussions the health board has had around tackling drug deaths.

Mr Peters says it is aware of drug "hot spots" where there are a high number of drug related deaths in the region.

This is an area of high priority for NHS Highlands, he insists.

Have you ever met CAMHS targets and do you have an idea of when you will, asks the health committee convener.

Boyd Peters admits that there is not a target for when the health board will meet the target.

However, he adds that the demand for CAMHS and other psychological therapies has rocketed in recent years.

"We are chasing a target that's moving away from us," which is why it is difficult to say when the target will be met, Mr Peters states.
