3 months figures compared to the previous 12 doesn't give the full picture yet does it?

 

 

“Over a five-year period the seasonal increase in mortality in winter is at its second lowest level ever since records began. In addition, the latest hospital mortality figures, published earlier this year, show a drop of 16.5 per cent since recording began in 2007.”

Shows you didn't read the whole article and also shows you haven't compared Scottish NHS targets v the other health services targets.  SNPBad.

Aye might do that, don't want your bigotry rubbing off.

How's about this stat, under previous labour administration 85% of referrals were seen within 18, weeks.   Under the snp 96% are seen within 12 weeks.  At a time Westminster has cut our budget by a staggering 10%, something labour didn't have to content with.  That's absolutely incredible,  breathtakingly good performance from the snp at a time of unprecedented difficulty. 

Stick that in your flute and play a bigoted song to it.

[Peppino Impastato]

And kezia dugdale was moaning about the other 4% this week in Holywood.   Really,  she had the cheek to do that.   Called it a crisis.

People dying today that never died before ? I blame the SNP.

Aye ? Your reading it though that's the main thing.

I'd rather it's left another 4 years tbh. As unpleasant as it will be, we need to see the effect of another 3-4 years of sociopathic Tory policy before sufficient numbers will vote to bin the UK.

Certainly not until Tory welfare reform starts firing into pensioners and the triple lock is hopefully gone.

The pensioners will still shite it

Aye, it's improved so dramatically that the mortality rate in Scotland rose by 8.5% in 2015 (the last available full year figures)?

Almost double that of England & Wales!

It's frankly ridiculous the SNP haven't yet introduced immortality. 

You fucking moron

Probably.

Either way, the triple lock should be emptied imo. Pension and pension-related benefits account for nearly half of the welfare spend, and any future welfare reform is simply going to have to come from pensioners, which will result in some interesting scenes.

Kinda depends how hard they get hit I think. Anger pretty much anyone enough and they'll do something about it. I've got a feeling this particular Tory government could do it.

Oof a decent response for once RG.
Glad to have u back

You're just another Keyboard mouth mate, your insults speak volumes.
The report (taken from NHS Scotland figures) states a FACT taken from the last available full 12 months data comparable to the rest of the UK. How better do you ultimately measure the health of nation than its mortality rate? Our Health Service is amazing but the figures speak for from themselves, the headline didn't create itself. Would you like to talk about educational standards or the transport network next?

Will a discussion on educational standards help you manage to use the quote function properly, you utter thicko?

NHS Spending per head of the population in Scotland is still higher than both England & Wales Pep. Can you explain the difference in the care standards I have mentioned? Then stick me on ignore, there's a good lad.

They should keep the triple lock on pensions but they should be means tested imo. Bit brutal on those who have been lucky enough to have good jobs all their lives and sorted out their own private deals, but better to give them a hit than the people who really need the basic pension.

Not sure why the quote function didn't copy your whole post? The point still stands.

I joked about means-testing them to my old man and he nearly had a fit   

The triple lock is completely unjustified imo. It's wrong to be chopping away at working age, and indeed disability benefits when the most well-off section of welfare recipients isn't only safe from cuts, but actually gets a wee regular increase (although in a few cases this is counter-productive for them). 

Sadly, no government will ever have the stones to do anything drastic with pensions/pension-age benefits.

You have no point.

You have no point. 

Pensioners get out and vote and get their demands heard because of that.Some sections of society don't hence bottom of the pile It's not right but woe the politician that even thinks of going there.

Only one that it seems you are unable to counter.

Indeed. It's a subject with 10 foot bargepole written all over it for most politicians.
