On Monday, the Scottish National Party published yet another national health service recovery plan—that makes it five plans in just four years. I know that Biffa is suing the Government, but that is not the kind of recycling that Scots are looking for.

A pledge for a digital front door was made in 2021 but have not been delivered. Fast-track cancer diagnostic centres in every health board were promised in 2021 but have not been delivered. The height of the SNP’s ambition is that patients will wait “only” a year for treatment. Does the SNP really think that that is success? It is little surprise that Colin Poolman, the director of the Royal College of Nursing Scotland, said that

“nursing staff reading this will be left scratching their heads wondering just how the aspirations in the plan will be achieved in reality.”

Is it not the case that the SNP Government is desperately scrambling around because it knows, as everybody else in Scotland does, that it has broken Scotland’s NHS?
