NHS Highland is restricting who can visit patients

Raigmore Hospital bosses are defending their decision to restrict visitors in the wake of another norovirus outbreak.

NHS Highland has been criticised on social media after the temporary ban which has since been lifted.

Only essential visiting is being allowed to the infected Ward 7C, and no more than two close relatives at a time can visit patients in unaffected wards.
