Dear Ms Dugdale CHALMERS SEXUAL HEALTH CENTRE

Thank you for your letter of July 5, received in my office on July 8. Like you, I have very much welcomed the opening of the new building, which represents substantial investment by NHS Lothian in these important services. , was, however, disappointed to read of the complaints which you relay on behalf of your "'-"'"--~cnn tituent-and l-tlave to-say-l have-not-personally-been-aware of any of these. Notwithstanding this, I have asked our Joint Director of Health and Social Care, Peter Gabbitas to look into these as a matter or urgency and, as soon as the results of his investigation are to hand, I will write to you again. I do hope we can address your concerns in our response. Yours sinceJely

JAMES BARBOUR Chief Executive
