Scotland's Health and Education systems (both responsibilities of the Devolved Scottish Government) have suffered under the SNP too. So unfortunately neither Holyrood nor Westminster have done much good for Scotland in recent years.

So unfortunately neither Holyrood nor Westminster have done much good for Scotland in recent years.i'm more concerned about westminster not respecting holyrood - why does their opinion on what happens in more or less a different country matter more? as much as i love scotland i've been pro independence for them since the first indyref vote tbh, would be bitter it wasn't happening for me but that doesn't mean they should suffer under a tory gov when they've consistently elected a nationalist party
It's pocket change to him!I’m sure he’s crying having to pay that
Yes I was just being smart lol I’m sure he wouldn’t even get out of bed for the price of that ticketIt's pocket change to him!
Fines should be scaled based on income.It's pocket change to him!
Considering our taxes already pay for the NHS, how is this anything else but an obvious move towards privatisation? Will people who can't afford to pay upfront (while NI is still deducted from their payslips) just lose access?There’s already been talk of that where I’m from

It may work like the ROI model where they get exemption based on their earnings, although I don’t know what the cut off is?Considering our taxes already pay for the NHS, how is this anything else but an obvious move towards privatisation?

And in case Javid didn't realise, throwing money won't magically increase the NHS's capability, which is the root cause of long waits. Unless his solution to ease waiting times is to reduce demand by cutting off the poor?
Me either. Considering what the government believes we should be satisfied with, it'll probably be just about enough for someone to pay for once in a while but not enough for their needs to properly be addressed.It may work like the ROI model where they get exemption based on their earnings, although I don’t know what the cut off is?
Yes , if you needed consultant care it could be costly, this is the HSE ( ROI) charges.Me either. Considering what the government believes we should be satisfied with, it'll probably be just about enough for someone to pay for once in a while but not enough for their needs to properly be addressed.
And I understand some people might be a 'burden' by unnecessarily requesting appointments but it penalises the majority including people who need multiple visits because they can't be diagnosed without several checks.
I’d say so.would gp / a&e charges be waived for those with medical exemption certificates or under 18s etc?
