Gordon MP Richard Thomson has welcomed the latest investment in health services in the North-east which sees a new 4D scanner based in Aberdeen which will predominantly benefit cardiac patients. 

 

Commenting on the announcement by NHS Grampian, Richard Thomson said: 

 

“This new scanner - which improves the patient experience as well as providing more information for health professionals in a shorter timeframe, thereby allowing more people to be seen – represents the latest significant investment in health services in the North-east. 

 

“It is the first of its kind in Scotland, is one of only a few in use in the UK, and is at the very forefront of cardiac and cancer services.  I look forward to further investment and improvements to health services in the North-east going forward.”
