BBC Scotland’s Debate Night looking for Glaswegians for NHS episode

When it comes to important topic such as politics, health and education or something as simple as your favourite place to grab a bite to eat, everyone has an opinion.

And if you like to express your point of view and get your opinions across, then you may want to appear on the next BBC Scotland's Debate Night. If this sounds good, tickets are free and easy to get.

The political audience discussion TV programme is similar to Question Time and is the only television programme of its kind in Scotland. Giving people the opportunity to put your questions to the country’s decision-makers and public figures, it's a brilliant opportunity to have your say when it comes to what matters.
