Major Aberdeen trauma centre confirmed by Nicola Sturgeon Published duration 4 May 2016

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed there will be a major trauma centre in Aberdeen.

Clinicians' concerns had been raised at a meeting of NHS Grampian's board last month after the Scottish government announced the decision to have four such centres was under review.

Ms Sturgeon said: "There is no dubiety, there will be a major trauma centre in Aberdeen."

She said there would be also be centres in Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

In response, Labour said the "apparent U-turn" had come at the last minute.

The Conservatives said voters may ask why it had taken until the final days of the election for the "unequivocal commitment".
