HUMZA Yousaf has said the UK Government has failed to give any extra funding to deal with health budget pressures in Scotland.
The Scottish Health Secretary said cash announced by his UK counterpart to help free up capacity in hospitals was being taken from existing budgets, despite being "touted as new money”.
When quizzed on whether any additional funding has been given from the UK Government to deal with issues such as inflation, he told MSPs on the Holyrood’s health committee: “No, is the answer in short."
