Work will begin next week on a state-of-the-art residential care facility for South Uist. The South Uist Care Development will be a first rate facility for people who require residential care. The facility has been developed in close consultation with the communities of South Uist who have long made the case for improved facilities for the social and health care of the people of the area. The new Care Development has been designed by the Comhairle’s Technical Services Department and will feature 18 accommodation units, guest rooms, library, greenhouse and 3 garden areas. The original Daliburgh Hospital, built more than a century ago, has been preserved within the design for the new care centre which will replace Uist House which is now over 40 years old. A short ‘turf cutting’ ceremony, attended by the Chair and Vice-Chair of Social Work and local Councillors and representaives of local contactors Macinnes Brothers will mark the start of work on the project.

You are invited to send a representative:
