Age-old problem facing ailing NHS

Other countries looked on jealously as we received high-quality care in well funded hospitals, free at the point of use.

Fourteen years of Tory austerity means our public services have been battered.

Now we're getting by with equipment almost 30 years old in our hospitals.

New figures today show that most health boards in Scotland are using X-ray machines and scanners that are too old.
