More Nats Fewer Nurses

On Saturday morning I joined Jim McGovern MP, Councillor Mohammed Asif and Labour Party members collecting signatures for our petition against cuts in the NHS imposed by the SNP Government. My colleague Marlyn Glen MSP has been at the forefront of the campaigns against this mistaken policy. You can hear what Marlyn Glen and Iain Gray have to say on this here and also sign our petition.

Everyone knows that times are tight - but people across Scotland are furious that the SNP government has chosen to axe almost 4,000 NHS posts this year - including over 1,500 nurses. Locally in Tayside Scottish Government figures state that 495 jobs will be lost including 158 nursing and midwifery jobs. The response on the street was one of shock with many people more than willing to sign the petition.
