Portfolio Question Time
Planned Housing Growth (Primary Care Service Demand)
In growing communities such as Monifieth, the issue is often not the approval for the houses but the lag before the health services adjust to the new population. I appreciate what the cabinet secretary said, but will the Scottish Government look at how the data on housing consents could be used more consistently by NHS boards to identify which practices are more likely to come under pressure in relation to GPs, dental services and community health teams?
The rest of this Official Report will be published progressively as soon as the text is available.
