There has been a noticeable increase in people contacting my office about accessing GP services, and long waiting times for hospital appointments and operations. On the Isle of Arran, many cannot get back-and-forth ferry trips on same day due to these issues. Given my experience as an ex-NHS manager, I see consequences of GP shortage in Scotland. With a recent successful recruitment campaign in England, should the Scottish Government utilise Barnett consequentials for robust workforce planning and GP recruitment?
