“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Margo McGurk for her outstanding contribution to NHS Fife and the wider NHS in Scotland during a long standing career of public service. Margo joined NHS Fife just as Covid 19 was emerging and her leadership, expertise, and commitment have been instrumental in guiding us through the complex financial challenges during and post-pandemic. We wish her all the best in her well-deserved retirement.”
