Sarah Compton-Bishop, Chair of Argyll and Bute Integration Joint Board (IJB), Amanda Hampsey, Vice Chair, and Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) Chief Officer Fiona Davies have issued a joint statement on behalf of IJB members and the HSCP.
"We would like to express our sadness on the announcement of the death of Her Majesty The Queen.
"Her Majesty's life was one of dedicated public service and devotion to our nation and the Commonwealth. We were privileged to welcome Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh to Argyll and Bute to mark the official opening of Lorn and Islands Hospital in 1995.
"We join together in mourning and extend our condolences and compassion to The Royal Family as the whole country comes to terms with this news and mourns her passing."
