NHS Grampian ambulance diversions are ‘major warning’ for NHS

NHS Grampian has faced severe pressure in recent years, with staffing problems and multi-million pound overspends.

There have also been serious issues with ambulances forced to queue outside ARI.

Last month, the health board announced plans to reduce the number of ambulances waiting outside the hospital.

The scheme allows ambulance staff to take some patients directly into the initial assessment unit to avoid lengthy queues at the hospital entrance.

The Unison union has opposed the change, saying it would add to the pressure faced by hospital staff.
