NHS SCOTLAND officials have refused to release details of a controversial meeting where a “two-tier” health service to charge the wealthy was discussed, saying it was an “ideas workshop” where no formal minutes were taken.
A report that NHS leaders had talked about abandoning the founding principles of the health service sparked huge controversy when it was published by BBC Scotland in November.
The broadcaster said the discussion of the "two-tier" health service was mentioned in leaked draft minutes of a meeting of Scotland's NHS leaders in September.
