Jackie Baillie: “This damning analysis lays bare the disastrous scale of the crisis in our NHS under the SNP.”

Behind these heartbreaking figures are lives cut short, families left grieving and communities suffering.

Too often the SNP operates under a cloak of secrecy.

However, it should not take lengthy legal disputes to get answers from the SNP government.

Public confidence in our institutions relies on full transparency, and that is why I would urge them to fully explain what steps they now intend to take.
