My real concern was with ejection injuries having to be dealt with "down south". A transfer can't be pleasant so soon after sustaining injury and with many training areas up here, I would have hoped NHS Scotland had the skills needed.
The treatment of ejection injuries is a specialised one that is rarely (even more so) needed these days and so would be uneconomical for too many places to maintain. I think there are 2, possibly 3 establishments in the UK capable of it, all in England. No great reason for that I suspect other than money saving ones.
