They spent more than they were allocated for health spending in PESA.....but a finite pot of money can't pay for an infinite level of monetary support to services.

Maybe if we didn't have to help fund Westminster's deficit and debt, we could afford to put more money into areas important to us.
Oh my Goodness.. you really are using a Nelson eye; in case you missed it: "The Audit Scotland report said health boards would have to make "unprecedented" savings this year. And it said NHS Scotland had failed to meet seven of its eight key waiting times targets." .."Health boards will need to make "unprecedented savings" this year and there is a risk that some will not be able to balance their budgets, its report states.Boards are also struggling to meet the majority of key national targets in areas such as waiting times and the major shift in care from hospitals to the community has not happened."
Oh yes I see today the 'Indy Camp eviction appeal thrown out' thought they were staying there til Scotland was Independent? come on then MUST have been that Westminster lot who dd that
