Jenny Gilruth: “Reforming Scotland’s public sector is about delivering the best public services for people across Scotland.”

There is no doubt that our constitutional future is the dominant question of these islands.

We welcome the polling around about support for independence and, of course, we would welcome an early General Election to solidify that support.

I think that is fair to say, because we need to invest in our National Health Service, we all accept that.

We will be in the most powerful position at Westminster in our history, and Andy Burnham will not be able to ignore Scotland’s right to decide our own future.
