Gray, Neil SNP Airdrie and Shotts Watch on SPTV

It is clear that our NHS is turning a corner under this Government and recovering following the pandemic. Long waits are down for eight months in a row, and thousands more operations are being delivered, with the Golden Jubilee hospital being named on Monday as the United Kingdom’s largest centre for hip and knee replacements.

General practitioner numbers are up, a historic deal, worth more than half a billion pounds, has been reached with GPs, and 30 new walk-in GP centres are to be delivered. There has been an increase in the number of doctors, nurses, midwives and consultants, and our MyCare.scot service will begin to be rolled out from April. There has been a record level of investment in our health service.

From personal experience as an unexpected secret shopper this week, I can say that our staff deliver world-class care to the people we seek to serve.
