Allan Petrie says SNP health "policy" nothing more than chasing cheap headlines

Euan Robson MSP, Scottish LibDem Health spokesperson, said, "This is not a comprehensive health policy; it is simply a series of responses to recent news headlines.

"The SNP say they want local health care but oppose all attempts to deliver it. The SNP need to get beyond slogans to the real issues of delivering healthcare locally."

Here in Dundee, Liberal Democrat spokesperson and former SNP councillor Allan Petrie said, "It is concerning that the SNP think they can get away with policy on the back of a cigarette packet. It is simply sloganising and has been criticised across the political spectrum."
