People in Falkirk living at home who are reliant on complex medical equipment have been assured work is ongoing to make sure they will not be in danger through any loss of power to the national grid.
Fiona Collie, Falkirk Council 's representative on NHS Forth Valley board, said she was aware of concern among some constituents about the possibility of power cuts in the winter ahead.
When the board met this week, she asked what plans were in place to support people with complex medical conditions who are reliant on electronic equipment.
