NHS funding in Scotland

Sir,

The demands placed on Scotland’s health service by the pandemic have intensified pleas for an increase in funding for Scottish NHS. NHS funding in Scotland comes from the block grant from Westminster.

If huge sums of Scottish taxpayers’ money were not being used to pay Scotland’s share of renewing and maintaining Britain’s nuclear submarine fleet, there would be funds available to properly support the Scottish NHS.

This will only be possible when Scotland is independent once more.
