- John Swinney must not “pass the buck” on the challenges facing the health service, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar has said.
In his previous roles as finance secretary and deputy first minister, Mr Swinney has said he was upfront with the public on the situation within the NHS.
However during First Minister’s Questions on Thursday, Mr Sarwar said the Scottish Government’s “financial mismanagement” had created a £1.4 billion black hole in the health sector.
He said: “Our NHS faces the biggest crisis in its lifetime. Health boards have been asked to make cuts across the country because of decisions made by John Swinney. So does he accept responsibility?”
Mr Sarwar also accused the First Minister of using a “get out of jail free card” by blaming the UK Government instead of accepting responsibility.

The SNP has not fulfilled their duty to the Scottish people. Their excessive focus on independence and woke ideology has resulted in an unfortunate squandering of valuable resources that could have been better allocated to address the needs of our disadvantaged communities.
78% yes :)

What a complete joke the SNP are, they need to grow a pair and take responsibility for their failings to their electorate!
Why is it always everyone else’s fault except the SNP 🤦♂️😂
Sarwar is not the answer, hes more of the problem.
Get rid of all the SNP vanity projects such as embassies etc and all the other rubbish they keep thinking up.
Swinney stood there today, trying to defend not only Sturgeons failures, not only Yousafs failures, but his own over the last 17 years.
Talks about years of austerity ! Who didn’t deal with it ? Says the SNP are putting more of their budget into the NHS than any other service. So why is it getting worse ? And that doesn’t include the record funding they received from the UK gov. Same old excuses.
The NHS is the best funded service in Scotland that's because it is the biggest employer of all public services.
The same is true in all of the 4 countries of the UK. It is a meaningless sound bite.
If the SNP spent less on freebies and all those vanity projects like independence and spurious legal battles with the UK government not to mention the attack on Salmond. Then maybe there wouldn't be a
£1.4bn black hole in their budgetary spending.
Scotland already get a 30%+ per head Barnet payments over England and have their own tax raising powers. But it's never enough.
Maybe the present so called cost of living crisis is more down to covid lockdowning the economy ( an exercise that was more draconian in Scotland), plus the war in Ukraine.
Austerity was ended in the UK by Boris Johnson in September 2019.
The present difficulties are more due to more recent events which is why the UK isn't the only ones that have a cost of living crisis.
As for liz Truss's budget, well it wasn't even implemented, the real culprit for high mortgage payments and interest rates is the Bank of England. It's them that control interest rates and indulge in quantitative easing.
Same old blame game just a different main mouthpiece with the SNP.
No NHS treatment without a national insurance number.
Treat no foreigners.
You would not be treated for free in any other country on the planet
A relatively civil discussion. Still, no solution is offered or reached.
We dont wsnt SNP we dont want LABOUR who is just Humza 2.0
This austery lie can't go on.
Well you didn’t do well in finance when your predecessors were in
And are now paying for their mistake????
The NHS was not the best funded, the ferries and the disaster of an iron works took pride of that place, get real Scotland, that's where your visible money went, vanity
The Westminster get out clause, didn't see that coming, yeah right.
Westminster,English, Tories,covid,a big dug ate my homework and a big boy did it and ran away.
This game played by politicians is shameful. Why doesn’t Sarwar raise all the wasted expenditure by the SNP eg ferries that could have been spent on the Scottish NHS ?
If we went on our own Scotland would be 20bn worse off. Why don’t they point that out. What’s wrong with the opposition.
What a lot of garbage as usual.
Nobody ever asks the question where has the money gone
NHS Scotland staff are paid more for the same grade job as NHS England, with perhaps the exception of those that specifically get London weighting, despite the cost of living difference.
I have to say in all fairness, I had a very well run GP service in Scotland and my family have received treatment, albeit for relatively minor problems, reasonably. That said I am also aware of catastrophic problems with serious consequences, e g the ambulance crisis and people waiting a long time for elective sugeries despite how debilitating their condition is.
The amount of money which has been ploughed in N H S where is it in the pockets of the managers who supposed to be in charge Bring back the Matrons on the Wards and let them run the Hospitals 🚑
Any news of Operation Branchform? Three years and counting...
Charges due by the end of June.
@@markcf83 Thank you. I await the outcome with interest.
Without money from England,which the SNP cannot account for Scotland would be bankrupt!
What a lot of nonsense what planet are you on.
No what planet are you on, We are the biggest takers from the barnett formula, we year upon year get more money per head than anywhere else in the UK,
There's austerity all over the rest of the UK because of the excessive grant the SNP get, more than Wales, Ulster and England per head. The SNP have frittered the money away on Gay rights and Transgender people, Motorhomes and goodness knows what else. His speech is a repeat of the Tories speech on austerity.
I can’t stand to listen to what the SNP have to say anymore 17 years of it.
SNP are just the same as
Labour lineing their own pockets and talking a load of nonsence
Ha ha,No till I die😂
What a bunch of Pratts
SNHS is the best fund d and still not fit for purpose
Caaaaaant stand the SNP. However dont think will be any better🙄😢 poor Scotland is on its knees.
This corrupt shower should be jailed
Are you yes yet ?😂😂😂
Dishonest John strikes again.
Always find money to make propaganda for independence. ...750 thousand to gaza I seem to remember ..thousands on a motor home ...
Typical SNP. Blame anyone and everyone but themselves.
Straight as a hoola hoop..suddenley swinney is the best polotician around, feked off when his pals all went hame...tax tax tax , aye okay mate..where do you think this money is coming from
Aye wonder when he gets home speaks to his wite and family 👪,, mum and dad 👵👨🦳, about Scottish history?! Just a question to see if Scottish people are woke as bad as America.....
Scottish Labour protecting the Westminster Tories as usual.
Do I detect a whiff of Nationalist WhatAboutery and deflection.???
