Hundreds of staff from the ferry operator Caledonian MacBrayne (CalMac) have begun industrial action that is causing three days of ferry disruption across the west coast. The crews want reassurances about future jobs, pay and pensions now that the company's routes have been opened to competitive tender.

Prof Jayne Lawrence is Chief Scientist for the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
