According to Freedom of Information response the SAS had airlifts from Caithness General Hospital in Wick KW1 5NS between 2015 and 2025.

Please see the attached sheet detailing a monthly breakdown of the information requested.
Please Note
To protect individuals’ privacy, the Scottish Ambulance Service applies standard statistical disclosure controls when releasing small numbers. Where a figure is fewer than five, it is shown as “<5”. This prevents the identification, or potential identification, of any individual, in line with data protection requirements.
In some cases, a further value must also be suppressed and replaced with “*”. This secondary suppression is used to ensure that the suppressed <5 figure cannot be calculated through simple subtraction or by comparing totals. This is a recognised method for preventing accidental disclosure while still allowing us to publish meaningful, high‑level information.
