Labour said that military assistance was needed particularly to ensure that ambulance services and accident and emergency departments “do not buckle'
Scottish Labour have urged SNP ministers to call in the army to help boost capacity in the struggling NHS.
Labour wants the Scottish Government to ensure that “promised increases” in investment for NHS24 delivers “quicker response times and better quality support for patients instead of long waits on the phone”. Labour also suggested putting plans in place to raise the minimum pay for care workers to £15 per hour could help tackle staff shortages in the social care sector.
“The result of SNP inaction and incompetence is the lives of thousands of Scots being put in danger on a weekly basis.”
