If this transpires will leave us hundreds of millions short of £500m+ cost for directly employed public services. Means Scottish public services will be paying UK Treasury for UK tax rise. Also doesn’t cover contractors - GPs, pharmacists, social care & 3rd sector - so damaging

Great speech Iain Morrison . Every report nationally and internationally says that investing in community based generalists is the best way to have an accessible effective health system. Where GP is valued, the whole health system thrives.

"We've listened and we've been persuaded." We welcome First Minister's acceptance of our long-standing call for a greater proportion of new NHS funding to go to primary and community care to give GPs the resources they need.

We welcome today's speech from First Minister on renewing the NHS. Read our full response here: rcgp.org.uk/News/scotland-…
