In one year, Swinney cut:

❌£70m from social care, while people were unable to get a care package.
❌£65m from primary care, making GP appointments harder to get.
❌£38m from mental health services.

The man who made the mess can’t be the one to fix it.

Swinney has just clearly misled Parliament by stating that Labour “wishes to relieve bankers of the obligation to pay into our tax system, by lifting the cap on their bonuses”.

Dabo Swinney asked on ACC PM about Clemson being the only non-service academy to take zero transfers for 2024. Says it wasn’t intentional, they looked at a few guys. Also: “Every player is technically a transfer. We just signed a whole class of guys transferring from high school”

Just a few days ago, a woman tragically died on Skye and another nearly lost her life due to a lack of out-of-hours services.

Emergency care is becoming a post code lottery.

John Swinney must act now to ensure everybody has access to urgent healthcare no matter where they live.
