A TOP expert on devolution has issued a grave warning that the Tory government’s damaging tax cuts threaten the future of devolution and Scotland’s NHS.
Alan Trench, a leading academic with a focus on devolution in the UK and overseas, shared a comment from top economist Charlie Bean – who fears that if the Government doesn’t reverse its economic plans, public spending may have to be cut so much that it leads to the end of the NHS.
Trench, who has worked in the devolution space for more than 20 years and also served as a policy adviser, stressed that ruining the NHS would be a “feature not a bug” for this Conservative government.
