Senior medical staff in the north east of Scotland have warned that services in key areas are at breaking point.
More than 20 consultants at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (ARI) have written to NHS Grampian's board, saying the situation is "critical".
The general and vascular surgeons said years of underfunding had hit staffing levels and led to delayed operations.
NHS Grampian said work on reconfiguring services at ARI had not yet been finalised.
It said senior clinicians were involved in discussions.
