- JOHN Swinney was today told to end the “postcode lottery” of emergency health care in rural Scotland, days after the tragic death of music-lover Heather Aird.
Ms Aird fell ill and later died at the Skye Live music festival on Saturday, a short distance from Portree Community Hospital - a shuttered health hub that previously provided emergency care
Deputy first minister Kate Forbes later demanded a probe into the “extremely serious” incident.
At First Minister’s Questions, Scots Tory leader Douglas Ross also raised the case of 27-year-old Eilidh Beaton who was forced to use five Epi-pens as she fought to stay alive following an allergic reaction.
Kate Forbes, The deputy first minister, said this week: 'Enough is enough. It has been six years on the time scales for delivering the report.Recommendations keep shifting. There must be accountability.'

Someone should be sacked for not implementing this but of course they won’t - they’ve probably already retired on a big pension
The whole Scottish parliament is an embarrassment to Scotland.
Your SORRY does not cut it Swinney
No it does not
all Swiney is good at id spouting worthless words. No hospital on Skye. Outrageous!!
Bye bye SNP
Union Scotland v;s Scotland freedom! Vote 2024, imperial masters goodbye! Laugh :)
@@KizzyKismet1what you basing that on a poll that was conducted in the nationals canteen
Your posts do make me laugh.Imperial masters, what century are you living in@@KizzyKismet1
@@KizzyKismet1Idiot!
The SNP has not been successful in their governance, as the funds allocated towards woke ideology are better suited to addressing the needs of our struggling communities.
Swiney couldn`t find his own arse with both hands
Of course he can his head is stuck up there already
“Unable to be sustained” is the FM’s euphemism for “we cancelled the out of hours service at Portree after three years“. It’s very rich to tell NHS Highland to reinstall the service now but without extra cash, all they can is shut down another Service elsewhere to pay for it.
I thought hospital's were open 24, , hours 7 days a week? 🤔
Neil gray knows nothing about health so should be sacked
Debate, discussion and recrimination that do not have as their object compromise and a solution are worthless to the people.
All the hours of talking Blackford did in The House, nothing to show for it! Total mess. Ego, ego & ego.
The council that granted the venue, should have made sure that all emergency cover was in place before the venue was granted licence.
We are a third world country, with a health service on par with Eritrea….thats Scotland with this basket case government.
I'm not sure that is fair. I don't think the health service in Eritrea is anywhere near as bad.
This is incompetence and mismanagement by Highland Health board.
Thet can't get the staff. Why? because they don't get the money to pay for it - it's all been spent on ferries that are still not in service.
Poor lady has lost her life , and this guys just goes through the motions
Enough is enough, time for the government to close the Scottish parliament down
Take a step back. Who was running this concert and what risk assessment did they undertake and implement to ensure full safety risk assessment including first aid and provision of other essential medical support. Who approved the event knowing the lack of hospital facilities? I presume an investigation is underway?
Pathetic points scoring by all parties, words mean nothing when tragedy has all ready taken place, ALL MSP,s in Hollyrood knew about this, it is the job of all these faker's regardless of party to have made these recommendations happen
I take your point, and agree that most of them appear to be point scoring but the SNP have been in power for years, they are the Government, if you’re in opposition you can only raise these issues when they appear, opposition parties do not have the power to implement the funding/ change required that’s down to the SNP government full stop. So would you rather no opposition party raises these questions and just let the snp sweep it under the carpet along with the myriad of other instances of lies, mismanagement and now what appears to be serious corruption
@@stuartallison5000 I totally agree with you it is the SNP who needed to act. But all MSPs need to be on the ball and not just hold there hand up after a tragedy and say we told you
Summat about McSwine that gives me the dry boak.
Covid,westminster, tories,england,the dug ate it and a big boy did it and ran away.
How many times did Swinney say they have invested more of their budget into the NHS, than any other service over the years ?
Well if that’s the case, why is the NHS getting worse every week ? Every issue that was raised today, saw Swinney involved in one way or another over the years, and those issues are still to be dealt with. The issue of that part time hospital was raised six years ago !
Christine rattling for a double gin behind the first minister
Talking crap...SNP OUT!!
This guy has been in office too long.
If Scottish people can't see through these people then good luck
Devolution has failed. Shut Hollyrood now and put money towards hospitals to prevent this situations happening again.
This is Kate Forbes and Blackford constituency why was Forbes not asked.
Cannot believe Skye has nob24 hr cover and particularly when a concert is being played. The NHS Highlands chief is to blame coupled with Forbes and indeed Blackford.
The SNP are hopeless, one aspiration and the rest can go to the wall.
Look at the blank looks on the SNP faces...
Sorry - but couldn't even name the poor lady. Action - not a word normally associated with the SNP unless it's related to 'hurty' words.
Maybe if nurses didn't have to pay higher taxes than in the rest off the UK they would move or stay in Scotland
The wee referee will never be Prime Minister of Scotland.
That's true, but don't you realise Scotland doesn't have a Prime Minister? The title is First Minister... I thought you should know that...
Shambles of a pàrty
They the snp spent to much money and time on independence and everything else fallen apart.. not seen a dentist for 7 yrs.. entitled to some help but can,t find one in east lothian.. paid 58 ponds for 5 min x ray.. haddington.. at least he took me
There's such a lack of proportionality in Douglas Ross' expectations prior to these tragedies.
It amazes me the lack of rationality he permeates his party with.
Stop giving our money to gaza and paying for embasses abroad we dont need and paying nearly 550 millions for ferries that they cant build that what to stop we might be able to keep these hospitals open for our own ppl
Bit like Tories and Labour
A weed comes to mind.
See that auld yin behind JW dyed hair and green jacket absolutely a Tim
Look at Swineys face
Bottom lip trembling at being told off
Scotland your a joke
😄😄😄😄😡 clown
Douglas Ross is as low as anyone can get, trying to make political gain by this sad case.
A horrible little creep.
Does he not realise that our NHS performs better than in England?
Stop deflecting as normal nothing your beloved snp can do no wrong to you nats
Our nhs is a disgrace and that's from a retired nhs nurse.
@@paulscott1759 Just pretend it’s not worse in England, even though your Brit Nats pals pretend it isn’t
Douglas Ross. A good man exposing.. the gravy train msp,s…the money they get and the perks.. the decent and honest folk get no change.. they all sitting on great money… esp the snp but don,t deliver… except babie boxes.. the Scottish conservative msp,s could do better in charge… or Ian Murray Douglas Alexander.. bunch of despots
No he's not. As the 2nd biggest party and main opposition he's doing his job at holding these clowns to account. That's what opposition politicians do.
It's people like you that keep voting in these idiots why Scotland is in such a bad state that it's in.
My ex now lives in Berwick and I can assure you she says the NHS in Northumberland is much much better than Scotland.
Just accept the fact that independence is dead and stop being a narrow minded hillbilly snat
Blah blah blah that is all I hear when John swinney talks the man is full of crap
