Labour will deliver a true NHS Recovery Plan that transforms our NHS into a modern service that is based in communities, values its staff and focused on promoting health as well as treating illness. Labour’s vision for the NHS will:

  • End the cuts to primary care services and deliver a mental health worker in every GP.
  • Harness technology and innovation so patients can be diagnosed and treated more quickly.
  • Grow the NHS Scotland workforce by retaining experienced staff and increasing training places here in Scotland – paid for by funding from a UK Labour Government’s plans to end the non-dom tax loophole.
  • Invest in social care with an end to non-residential care charges and an immediate rise to £12 per hour for social care staff – paid for by pausing the SNP’s disastrous National Care Service Plans, prioritising funding for social care and ending delayed discharge.
  • Reform our NHS to cut unnecessary bureaucracy and ensure that patients can easily access services in their own community.
