He added: "The COVID pandemic was an extraordinary trial for all of those working in healthcare in Tayside and our population, and one which required an enormous, unprecedented and ongoing effort. However, by working together we were able to continue to deliver care and treatment for our communities ensuring they were looked after by our many dedicated teams.
