ARI is geographically positioned to cover the North East and Highlands and Islands, and the North Sea. Questionning it NOT being a major trauma centre is ridiculous and dangerous.

The snp say we should be independent because everything is centralised in London. But they want to centralise everything in Edinburgh/Glasgow. When you live in the north it's difficult to see the difference!

yet another move to centralise vital services in the central belt.

This would have been a major step forward in specialist care in the North East and should not be overruled and withdrawn

Yet another reason to bin the SNP government and elect a government more interested in the people than getting their names in the history books !

How can you possibly consider centralising trauma centres so that there are two for the whole country only 42 miles apart and nothing for the rest of the population? It is a disgrace.

the huge land mass covered by Aberdeen N.H.S. requires a trauma centre. Otherwise we will be seriously and dangerously disadvantaged

Absolutely critical to maintain a major trauma centre in Aberdeen!

Shame on the SNP. This band of rogues and snake oil salesmen need to be brought to account.

The north of Scotland is already suffering from deteriorating health care service and difficulty artracting staff. We need and deserve, given we pay our taxes, to have a trauma centre locally. Time and service saves lives!

The Trauma Centre is essential for Aberdeen City and Shire and Highlands and Islands

Don't forget the North of the country.

I feel it is important that not all trauma care is situated in the central belt and that the north of Scotland is also well served.

I believe a major trauma centre should be based in Aberdeen for the whole of the north of scotland.

It is unrealistic to make all in need of a Trauma Unit from Aberdeen and the rest of the North East as far as Orkney and Shetland, to go to Glasgow /Edinburgh it is too far. How many dangerously ill people would survive that journey and the time it takes.

ARI is the obvious choice for a major trauma centre, the NE needs one.

Aberdeen urgently require a trauma centre due to the amount of surrounding areas that depend on the hospital
