National health

The sacrifice of NHS staff going to areas of need is to be admired. But the Scottish Government’s response to the Ebola case is to seek help from Westminster.

A Royal Air Force plane is despatched to collect the patient, who is then flown to an RAF base in England, transferred to a British hospital with facilities to treat Ebola.

We should be grateful to all who voted No to independence, that we can rely on national help when needed.
