Detailed plans for the long awaited Mull Progressive Carte Centre are about to be unveiled at a series of public information meetings on the island in March.

The meetings are planned to allow as many people as possible to hear a presentation about the project and its future development.

Councillor Donald McIntosh, Argyll and Bute Council Spokesperson for Social Services said: "This is a very important project for Mull which potentially will have a huge impact on peoples' lives. When the project comes to fruition, it will offer residents the opportunity to receive the health care they need without leaving the island.
