    Just hearing about some of the things going on down south in the hospitals ... that's horrific and scary ... what's May doing about it ?

    Poor attempt at diverting the conversation. Perhaps Nicola should focus a lot more on a whole range of topics. Looking after the interests of the people she represents rather than own selfish agenda.

    Very familiar with the shortcomings in London hospitals. Needs to be much much better. :(

    No not at all ... if this crisis continues it will impact on Scotland NHS and that will need to be dealt with ... but right now and as of tonight 3 people died one of whom had waited 35 hours for a bed ...at needs to deal with this

    Mean while in Scotland Nicola launched the baby box scheme aimed at giving every new born child in Scotland a start in life and hopefully lower the SIDS statistics ... and up north ( Kishorn I think) 0.5 million has been awarded to help the local area do something with their land/water either helping bring back some industry related to steel or decommissioning some oil rigs

    Yes it's not the be all and end all of life ... but it's no bad


    So .. How is May dealing with the NHS cross down south apart from relying on the red cross to help ? Isn't that shameful? Here we are in 2017 and we are relying on the red cross to help in the NHS

    Or don't tell me ... let's go back to SNP BBBBAAAAAADDD again

    Aye I had heard that some London hospitals were turning people away and warning people not to attend unless it was an extreme emergency ... that is worrying ... I hope it chages and soon

    I understand she is going to abolish the Barnett formula and give the people of scotland the same funding as the people of Yorkshire.

    the savings will go into the English NHS

    With an ageing population some tough decisions are going to have to be made. There's no quick solutions.

    I reckon it's the people that are doing wrong there not Nicola, although I do seem to recall the Scottish government trying to introduce a minimum unit of alcohol price, it's still going through the courts, it isn't the total answer to the early deaths here, but it's a start

    maybe Scottish people should get to retire 2 years earlier ... to make it fair like :)


    so May then ... how is she fixing the NHS current crisis right now ?


    That's two pieces of news I have given that the Scottish government have came up with since the 1st Jan ... we still only know Brexit means Brexit ... hmm mm maybe May should get on with the day job ?

    Or will we just keep going with the SNPBBBBAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDD?
