From BBC News: The Scottish Ambulance Service has created new specialist teams to deal with any major chemical, biological, nuclear or terrorist incidents. Three special response teams (SORT) have been created in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen.

Training has included clinical skills, risk assessment, forensic awareness and decontamination procedures.

Previously, only police and fire services had been able to gain access to the inner cordon of major incidents.

A £4.3m investment has been put into the SORT initiative over three years.
