Unhealthy view

-

I watched last week’s debate on the health service at Holyrood. The MSPS of all parties are representi­ng their constituen­ts in this matter and have the right to fight for them. Neil Findlay of Labour brought up the plight of the people of Stoneyburn, who no longer have a GP practice. It’s a huge worry but was not addressed by the SNP – the response was Brexit, Westminste­r and wicked Tories. In fact, every response to valid points was, basically, the “opposition” were against them and the health service was fine.

Surely there needs to be accountabi­lity and a government working for all Scots, one which will admit problems and work to resolve them. I am sure the people of Stoneyburn who have to make a long journey to a health centre will know exactly who to blame.
