Communities across Lanarkshire and Central Scotland were promised a new Monklands Hospital before the election. Now, after votes have been cast, they are being told that the project is too expensive and must be sent back to the drawing…
But John Swinney can still find the money for the swanky new HMP Glasgow, which has seen costs spiral to over £1 billion. This exposes the Nationalists warped priorities.
Nationalist ministers must give councils the resources to deliver essential local services and strengthen community cohesion before this turns into a crisis.
Cynics will be asking why the former health secretary Neil Gray was still claiming that everything was on track for the new Monklands Hospital just weeks before the Holyrood election.
