The coastguard’s search and rescue helicopter team in Stornoway has been providing invaluable support to the NHS by transporting Covid patients from Barra.  The helicopter has been sent to move people most at risk of serious illness after testing positive for the virus to Western Isles Hospital in Stornoway, in a bid to ensure they receive the urgent care they need as quickly as possible.

Their support is in addition to the coastguard aircraft’s search and rescue response duties – with January 2021 proving to be the busiest month on record for the Stornoway base since it opened in 2013.
