DOUGLAS Ross has accused First Minister Nicola Sturgeon of making “political points” over the NHS as she clashed with opposition leaders over health service waiting times.
While Ross focused his questioning on A&E waiting times, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar raised the cases of two patients who were left waiting for months for treatment.
The pair clashed during First Minister’s Questions on Thursday, with Sturgeon hitting out at Ross’s previous support for scrapping the top rate of tax in the rest of the UK and calling for a similar move in Scotland.
