Healthcare company Johnson & Johnson has announced plans to expand its operations in Scotland. It said that about 150 jobs would be created between sites at Kirkton Campus in West Lothian and in Inverness. The jobs boost relates to blood glucose monitoring equipment developed by J&J-owned LifeScan in Inverness, with input from J&J's Kirkton operation. LifeScan Scotland has been carrying out research, development and manufacture of new products to assist diabetics, with Kirkton involved in 'specialist aspects' of the production process. Willie Dunn, convener of West Lothian Council's enterprise committee, said: 'This is another welcome boost for the economy of Scotland's fastest-growing area.'
