Central Scotland MSP Graham Simpson has blasted Humza Yousaf’s "flimsy" NHS Recovery Plan, calling for more to be done to prevent appointment cancellations in Lanarkshire.
Mr Simpson’s call comes after new statistics showed that the number of operations across Scotland was still 33 per cent lower than in February 2020, before the pandemic.
In April, there were 1700 operations cancelled on the day, or the day before, they were scheduled. to take place.
