The letter from Dr Alistair Maddock makes perfect sense and who would object to travelling for the best health care (September 30)?

Here in Argyll and Bute, travelling for the most minor procedures is a fact of life.

We simply join the list for Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board and are treated as if we lived round the corner

I recently helped a friend who has mobility issues to appointments no fewer than four times to three different Glasgow hospitals for what appeared to be a relatively simple surgical procedure

The cost apart the travelling, especially in the winter, is no joke.
