Cancer patients that are being forced to travel to Edinburgh for treatment say it has "dragged on too long and it's time for action."
Patients from Dumfries and Galloway are having to travel hundreds of miles for cancer investigations and treatment, with South Scotland MSP Colin Smyth has tabled the question to Scottish Parliament, demanding answers.
Mr Smyth said: "This has been a huge issue for local people for far too long. I have repeatedly urged different Health Secretaries to intervene to spare those needing treatment the long trek to the Edinburgh Cancer Centre, to no avail.
