Scotland's Failing Health Service, the SNP and Porkie Pies

 

As 2021 drew to a close Nicola Sturgeon appeared on the BBC's Andrew Marr programme and used the example of cataract operations to justify why Scotland has far fewer NHS beds these days.

The First Minister argued that for the likes of cataract operations people spend less time in hospital that they did years ago.

But this is a deliberate deception, dissembling nonsense, a blatant lie in plain language - because the real problem is that people can't get cataract operations done on the NHS these days.

In Glasgow, for example, there is a year's wait just to get on the waiting list, followed by another potential two year wait to have your eyesight finally restored.

Meanwhile if you have £2,500 to £3,500 to spare, you can have the operation done privately in a matter of days and  Covid isn't being used as a convenient excuse - in fact business is booming!

NB - the SNP have been running Scotland's health service for the past 14 years.

Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
