Scotland's NHS is indeed trouble under the SNP, with thousands facing brutal weights for urgent care and struggling just to snag a GP slot. Over 5,000 folks have been waiting more than two years for treatment, way worse than down south. Meanwhile, England's health service under labor is turning the corner, hitting the lowest waiting lists in three years and fastest ambulance times in. 5. They rode out over 5 million extra appointments in their first year. Ordinary scots are hurting bad, paying out savings or loans for private care, or just suffering in pain if they can't afford it.

Take the Princess Alexandra I Pavilion, declared unfit over 10 years ago, and the SNP is still just promising a rebuild in every manifesto, but nothing built. Labor is pushing for a new GP contract in their first 100 days if they win on May 7th. Scottish Labor's got a real plan, emergency mental health response,

better workforce strategy, and AI scanners for faster cancer catches. Time to ask why give the SNP a third decade to fix their own mess. Local news, powered by AI? This is Edinburgh News
