​LOCAL MSPS CHALLENGED TO BACK BOOST FOR MIDLOTHIAN AND EAST LOTHAIN HEALTH SERVICES
 
SNP MSP Colin Beattie has called on his political opponents across Midlothian and East Lothian to get behind the Scottish Government’s draft budget proposals that commits a record £15 billion for health and care services.
 
Last week, the SNP Government announced plans to increase spending on health services by £1 billion – with local health and social care partnerships earmarked to receive nearly £9.5 billion.
 
MSPs will vote on draft budget proposals next month, that includes £117 million for mental health funding.  
 
Under the SNP, Scotland has the best performing A&E in the UK with the number of people working in our health service reaching historic levels.
 
Commenting, Colin Beattie MSP for Midlothian North and Musselburgh, said:
 
“The SNP in government is investing record amounts in our NHS, to build a health service fit for the future.
 
“For the first time ever, this budget provides funding of over £15 billion for our health and care services.  
 
“As a cherished public service for the past seventy years, MSPs must do all we can to ensure our health service is properly funded.
 
“That’s why I’m calling on my political opponents across Midlothian and East Lothian to get behind the SNP’s plans that will protect our NHS – ensuring it remains safe in public hands, not put at risk of privatisation by Westminster.
