FUNDING FOR NHS IN SCOTLAND

That this House welcomes the Scottish Government's record funding for the NHS in Scotland; believes that this underlines the SNP Government's commitment to a publicly-owned health service; recognises that this funding means health boards will have the resources they need to progress their plans and offer a first-class service to patients across Scotland; and recognises that, with nearly £400 million committed to NHS building projects, it has been demonstrated that the Scottish Government will do everything within its power to support sectors of the economy like construction that are suffering most during the recession.
