Scotland’s Health Service

That the Parliament recognises that the NHS has been put on an amber warning by the Auditor General and calls on the Scottish Government to urgently act on the concerns raised; believes that reductions in staffing levels as well as financial pressures are having a negative impact on patient care and that further inaction is not an option; is concerned at reports that raise further questions about the integrity of waiting times data, and calls on the Scottish Government to provide guarantees that waiting times manipulation has not spread beyond NHS Lothian.
