Letter: Flawed strategy

Shadow health minister Jackie Baillie proposed a motion on Thursday: "quality strategy in the NHS".

As a resident in Forth Valley health region, I found it a bit rich that Ms Baillie should be questioning the current health secretary on "quality strategy" in the NHS. Was Ms Baillie not part of the last administration at Holyrood which has ultimately privatised hospital provision in my area?

This is a hospital that will be charging patient and staff to park, undermining the principle of the NHS, free at the point of need, and is unlike the non-PFI hospitals in Scotland who had their parking charges abolished by this SNP administration.
