SCOTLAND needs to get healthier or faces a budget black hole of up to £14billion a year in the decades to come. Independent forecasters revealed our ageing population means unaffordable levels of NHS spending with Holyrood ministers set for huge cash shortfalls in the 45 years from 2030.

CHANCELLOR Rachel Reeves’ Spring Statement will have a “devastating impact on Scotland’s budget”, Holyrood’s Finance Secretary Shona Robison has moaned.

SCOTLAND’s ailing NHS is still planning around 50,000 fewer operations than before Covid - despite a 2021 SNP promise to treat far more patients than pre-pandemic days. A new report underlined how the recovery from health service shutdowns seen during lockdown has been far slower than Nats ministers vowed. Worryingly, rates of improvement are slowing - promoting claims the Scottish Government’s NHS strategy has “run out of steam”.
