Greene responds to watchdog warning on waiting times

Responding to comments made by the Auditor General that it will be “really challenging” for the SNP government to eradicate year-long health waits by March, Scottish Liberal Democrat MSP Jamie Greene said:

“The fact that the SNP won’t even reveal whether this target has been met until after the election shows they don't believe they'll meet it. The SNP simply can't be trusted with your health.

“Month after month, patients are languishing on a waiting list, in pain and with no clear idea of when they will be treated.

“We’re lagging miles behind England in terms of waiting times and the promised national treatment centres have yet to fully materialise.

“At May’s election, you can vote for change with fairness at its heart and a realistic plan to fix our NHS by backing the Scottish Liberal Democrats on your second peach-coloured ballot paper.”
