Holyrood Elections 2021 – SNP Record on Devolved Areas
A THREAD

HEALTH
- The new sick kids hospital has had many issues including the ventilation and has been pushed back numerous times. Imagine if it had been opened on time and we had been able to treat more covid patienst there reducing strain on our NHS?

- The drug related detahs in Scotland are the highest simce records began. After the SNP govt. cut drug rehabilitation services after being told in doing so would have such consequences. They set up a task force which didn’t meet for the first time until months after being set up

- The SNP keep saying that they need Drug Powers devolved to treat this as a health problem, not criminal. If it’s a health problem use the powers of health? Just a thought. However. As soon as they came into power numbers have increased. Funny that eh?

We don’t need more powers we just need to use the powers we have properly and fund rehab services properly to tackle this.
- The treatment time guarantee was enshrined in law at 100% of patients would recive treatment within 12 weeks. In 2019 it was only at 72%
