'I have to get a car, a boat, a plane and a bus just to get an MRI scan'

Imagine having to travel hundreds of miles, across land and sea, to get an MRI scan.

That is the case for people living in Shetland, who have to go to Aberdeen for access to the equipment for these specialist scans.

At the moment, hundreds of patients do this every year which costs the local health board more than Β£200,000 on travel tickets alone.

The Nine's Hazel Martin has been to Shetland to meet local people affected.
