Labour’s Kerr Unsure Over Our Health |
|
Tuesday, 17 August 2010 |
|
Dr Bill Wilson MSP (West of Scotland, SNP) has condemned Labour’s Finance Spokesman over his and his party’s lack of commitment to free personal care for the elderly. Dr Wilson said, “With the election less than a year away, all the parties are now going full pelt to get their messages out, supposedly to tell us what they are going to do for our country. In this context it is alarming to hear of a lack of commitment to such a cherished policy as free personal care for the elderly. Such appears to be Labour’s position. “It’s our duty to look after the elderly – the years of hard work they have put into this country have given them the right to expect such care. Mr Kerr and Labour are seriously misguided if they think the Scottish people will allow their elderly relatives to receive any less care than they do at the moment. “This matter also draws attention to the fact that Labour has yet to commit money to the health sector as a whole. The SNP has pledged to spend any Barnett consequentials, which are derived from English healthcare spending, on Scottish healthcare. If one can believe their health spokesman’s remarks on BBC Radio Scotland, the Labour Party has made no commitment to allocating Barnett consequentials to the Scottish NHS. |
