The SNP are fast running out of excuses. The Health Secretary held up the median wait of 52 days for these cancer patients, as though that shows some kind of progress, when in fact it is nothing to celebrate because it is the worst on record. He ought to apologise to patients.

Passengers are shelling out huge sums of money to travel by train, only to find some services simply don’t arrive. It’s a masterclass in how to make public transport unattractive. If we want to coax people out of their cars, that has to start with a service that runs on time.

Helena Kennedy’s report laid bare the extent of misogyny across our society. The Scottish Government talked a good game about addressing misogyny in our society, paid for this work, yet they then unceremoniously junked it.

We are now on our fourth different Health Secretary since this SNP government last met the A&E waiting time target. If you're frustrated with the SNP making you wait to access the NHS, vote Scottish Liberal Democrats on your peach regional ballot and turf them out.

One inspection in Helensburgh found faulty equipment and examples of environmentally damaging dry weather sewage dumping. The Scottish Government needs to start finally taking the sewage crisis seriously and get tough on the government owned water company.

Under the SNP, A&E has been mired in crisis for years. We are now on our 4th Health Secretary since this SNP government last met the A&E waiting time target. Staff are stuck working under pressure cooker conditions and patients are having to wait hours for vital care.

Under the SNP, access to cancer screening programmes, diagnoses and treatment is a postcode lottery across the country. Scottish Liberal Democrats want to see ministers who will move mountains to bring down waits and get to grips with the gaps in tech and staff.

With waits stretching into the months and years, it’s clear that the SNP have no plan for tackling long waits for complex specialties. Ministers need to ensure that cataract surgery waits come down and people can get the care they need swiftly and close to home.

Liberal Democrats have campaigned for votes at 16 across the UK for well over 20 years, so this progress is welcome. However, if ministers want to see renewal of our politics then they should start at the roots of the problem with electoral reform – so that every vote matters.

In Scotland, more people die of lung cancer than any other form of disease. Scottish Liberal Democrats want to see the government make a full rollout of a nationwide lung cancer screening programme a top priority. Back our campaign here 👇 scotlibdems.org.uk/take-action/ca…

Not only are PFI companies routinely dumping sewage into Scotland's waters, SEPA does not even require many of them to monitor how often sewage is being dumped. We need to see all PFI sewage overflows monitored so people can get the full picture about this disgusting practice.
