Swinney: NHS central to Scottish budget priorities

Support for the “vital and precious” institution of the NHS will be at the heart of the upcoming Scottish Budget, John Swinney has said.

The First Minister visited Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert where he met staff and toured the ambulatory care centre.

He said the NHS will be “right at the heart” of the Scottish Budget, which will be published by Finance Secretary Shona Robison on Wednesday.
