HC Deb 06 July 1976 vol 914 c501W
Mrs. Bain

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what are the current and proposed levels of installation of Emiscan X-ray apparatus in Scotland; and how many children and adults are likely to be able to receive routine and emergency brain scans as a result of these installations.

Mr. Harry Ewing

One EMI scanner is at present in operation at the Southern General Hospital, Glasgow, and one at the Western General Hospital, Edinburgh. Two more are in course of installation, one at Ninewells Hospital, Dundee, and one at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, and are expected to be in operation in a few weeks' time. It is considered that this scale of provision will provide adequate facilities for current requirements.
