A hospital has taken delivery of a state-of-the-art surgical robot, the da Vinci Five robot, thanks to a donation from Gordon Murray, who created the McLaren F1 supercar in 1992


"This machinery fascinated the engineer in me," he said. "It's not anywhere near as intrusive as the operation used to be, and the recovery times are much quicker."

Having been operated on by the da Vinci Xi, he said the five model he was donating had "150 improvements".

"There's no better way of saying thank you to the team than donating one of these," he added.

"Initially I thought I'd leave a donation in my will and then I thought 'it can start saving people now'."
