NHS Grampian has been warned it must take swift action to get its financial crisis under control as it’s predicted to have the highest overspend over the next year in Scotland.

The health board has received just over £67m from the Scottish Government in a loan, which must be paid back, to help plug the hole in its finances.

In papers to its board, seen by STV News, it shows that nearly £40m of savings will need to be made next year.
