Scottish Liberal Democrat health spokesperson Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP has today written to the convener of the Health and Sport committee, Neil Findlay MSP, to request that the Cabinet Secretary for Health appear before committee members as soon as possible to respond to a crushing new report from Audit Scotland.
“The Royal College of GPs insist that we will be more than 800 GPs short by 2020. Seven out of eight key performance targets have been missed. It is essential that the Cabinet Secretary for Health answer for this crushing report by appearing before the committee for a full cross examination as soon as humanly possible.
