Under the impression that the first 90 minutes of care are important. Would take more to travel. Why is any where south of Edinburgh or Glasgow seen as less important. Do we not pay the same taxes

This is a prime example of the Scottish government centralising medical service. It need to be fought for the people of Grampian. We deserve as good a service for the population of this area.

Aberdeen is an ideal location for highlands, Aberdeenshire and surrounding areas. Who wants to travel to Glasgow or Edinburgh in an emergency

Essential to have major trauma unit in Aberdeen.

The North-East demands equal treatment with the Central Belt.

Please do the sensible thing and keep ARI as a major trauma unit for NE Scotland

North East is a major conurbation and needs to be treated as such.

We need more major trauma centres in Scotland. I'm sure that if any political party can make this happen - it will be the SNP!

Just another sign that the cental belt is taking control, to the detriment of the rest of Scotland, as it did under Labour. I'd expected better from the SNP.

Don't forget you have a lot of supporters here in the north east so don't let us down. The border doesn't stop at Edinburgh

This is not only for Aberdeen but the Hilands and Islands too. Stop the central belt divide!

Come on SNP, don't keep everything in the central belt, or you'll lose all your loyal N.E. Scotland voters.

Common sense gone mad. So if their was an incident offshore in Aberdeen they would fly them to Edinburgh or Glasgow. Also the oil capital of EUROPE and we wouldn't have a major trauma centre. About time Aberdeen got some recognition instead of side shifted all the time.

This central-belt focussed model is a troubling one. Aberdeen is Scotland's third-largest population centre. The North of Scotland needs a major trauma centre, the time taken to transport people in dire need will make all the difference to their survival.

Cannot see the logic in excluding Aberdeen from having a Major Trauma Centre
