NHS Lothian say eight people remain under observation at the Royal Infirmary, some of whom have 'serious injuries'
Eight people remain in hospital, some with serious injuries, after a boat keeled over in an Edinburgh dry dock on Wednesday.
NHS Lothian says it has treated 21 patients at hospital following the incident – 17 at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and four at the Western General. Two people were also taken to the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy, Fife, as health boards scurried to free up availability in accident and emergency departments to treat victims of the calamity.
Nine people have been discharged from the RIE and four are awaiting discharge from the Western. However, the health board says that eight people remain under observation at the Royal Infirmary, some of whom have "serious injuries".
