First Minister John Swinney has announced that a further 24 GP walk-in centres will be opened, bringing the total to 40.

The areas identified by the Scottish Government include Angus, Dumbarton, East Kilbride, East Renfrewshire, Edinburgh, Falkirk, Glasgow, Inverness, North Ayrshire, Paisley, Shotts, Tweeddale and West Lothian.

The hope is GP-led walk-in services will help relieve pressure on NHS services by delivering same-day care for users.
