I am very happy to see that the AHSCP have taken on board representations made by myself and Peter Chapman MSP​ last month and have decided to give the minor injuries unit in Banff a reprieve while they collect more information.

There has been a lot of coverage in recent weeks about the future of minor injury units here in Banff and in Turriff.

Understandably, there has been concern about any suggestion of a downgrade in services provided locally.
