The State of the NHS

As an amendment to motion S4M-11766 in the name of Neil Findlay (The State of the NHS), leave out from "falling standards" to end and insert “; considers that, for the successful integration of health and social care, there needs to be a clear focus on primary care, including allied health professionals and the third sector, and on the interrelationships between the health and social care professionals; further notes Audit Scotland’s call for a major overhaul in the running of the NHS to cope with future needs, particularly those of an ageing population, and calls on the Scottish Government to work urgently and constructively with all parties to achieve a long–term effective plan to secure the future of Scotland’s NHS.”
