If you’ve been to A&E, you shouldn’t trust Swinney

Responding to John Swinney’s misguided claims about the SNP’s record on health, Liberal Democrat Scottish affairs spokesperson Susan Murray MP said: 

"If you've been to an accident and emergency in Scotland in the last few years, you will know not to trust a word that comes out of John Swinney's mouth on the NHS. 

"From A&Es to cancer waiting times to the erosion of NHS dentistry- wherever you look in our health service- you will find decay. 

"We've been waiting for a new health and care centre in Strathkelvin and Bearsden for years. 

"Only the Scottish Liberal Democrats have got a realistic plan to get everyone the first-rate healthcare they need when they need it, and you can set those plans into motion by backing us on both ballot papers in May."
