POLITICAL PARTIES URGED TO BACK NHS INVESTMENT

POLITICAL PARTIES URGED TO BACK NHS INVESTMENT

Graeme Dey MSP has called on his political opponents across Angus South to get behind the Scottish Government’s draft budget proposals that commits an extra £729 million for health and care services.

 

Last month, Finance Secretary Derek Mackay MSP announced plans to increase spending on NHS frontline boards by £430 million – a 4.2% on 2018/19 spending.

 

MSPs will vote on draft budget proposals next month, that include an extra £90 million to improve waiting times and a further £8 million to support trauma networks.

 

Analysis from HM Treasury, shows health spending per head in Scotland is almost 9% higher than in England, amounting to over £1 billion more spending on health services for Scotland compared to England.

 

Commenting, Graeme Dey MSP for Angus South Constituency, said:

 

“I am proud that the SNP Scottish Government has already, and will continue to invest record amounts in our NHS, building a healthier Scotland.

 

“With an additional £729m extra for health and care services announced this year, this budget will give our NHS a significant and vital funding boost.

 

“We are also actively supporting mental health services for young people with an additional £27m.

 

“Tory austerity and the threat of Brexit are putting real pressures on the NHS, but despite that, the Scottish Government will invest over £9bn for Health and Social Care Partnerships for primary and community health services.

 

“I hope my fellow MSPs, across all parties get behind the Finance Secretary’s plans that will strengthen healthcare provision for my Angus South constituents and people across Scotland.”
