Scottish Government say Ayrshire Tories have their sums wrong over musculoskeletal appointment waiting times

An MSP has expressed concerns over the amount of patients in South Ayrshire waiting on a musculoskeletal appointment.

South Scotland Conservative List MSP, Sharon Dowey, reckons the SNP Scottish Government has failed to get a grip on the problem and is demanding action to reduce numbers.

The Scottish Government’s own target sets out that 90 per cent of patients should be seen within four weeks from referral for a musculoskeletal appointment.
