It's strange the article doesn't mention whether her foot actually turned out to be broken or not, only suspected to be broken. As someone who has attended A&E outwith 9 to 5 monday to friday with an actual broken bone I can say that there is xray staff on call and after having my leg examined and determined to need an x-ray who ever was on call came in and x-rayed it and I was duly put in a cast. Surely if her own GP had already examined her and determined it could be broken why didn't he actually refer her to x-ray rather than simply strap it up and send her on her way? We already do have 24-7 care in shetland, the wards and Aand E is always open and staffed but I agree we could do with more nurses and doctors and less managers in nhs shetland.
