No accountability

What will it take for Nicola Sturgeon to remove her health minister, Humza Yousaf, from his post? Major GP troubles (“GPS switch to ‘Emergency only’ care as crisis grows”, 19 November 19), huge problems with NHS dentistry, A&E waits, the ambulance service, overworked nurses and other medical staff. National strikes looming and huge delays in accessing hospital referrals and treatment, plus mental health services in disarray.

What has Humza Yousaf actually been doing to stop all of this? This is the job we are all paying him for. This has been the way the SNP have run affairs in Scotland for years. No accountability and yet the Scottish NHS is a totally devolved matter. Trite answers such as “independence will fix this” or “it is Westminster's fault” cut no ice.

For how much longer must we put up with this shocking state of affairs?
