South Scotland Labour List MSP, Colin Smyth, has slammed the Scottish Government over NHS Ayrshire & Arran’s 'funding issues' which have led to periods of 100 per cent capacity levels at Ayr Hospital.
Speaking during a question session in the Scottish Parliament, Mr Smyth questioned Cabinet Secretary for NHS Recovery, Health and Social Care Michael Matheson on the issue.
Mr Smyth said: “The A&E target at Ayr Hospital has not been met for two years; delayed discharge in South Ayrshire has almost doubled in the past year; and NHS Ayrshire & Arran has reported capacity levels of 100 per cent at Ayr Hospital.
