Dr Iain Kennedy of the BMA has warned the 'whole health and social care system in Scotland is broken'.
A top doctor has warned "there is no way that the NHS in Scotland can survive" in its current form as he called for a national conversation on the future of the health service.
"It’s already broken in some parts of the country. So the time is now, we need the national conversation now, it cannot be delayed any further."Dr Kennedy said the Scottish Government was "well off" the 800 GPs it wanted to recruit by 2027, and that the number of vacancies for hospital doctors was also high.
“They are telling me that NHS Scotland is failing their patients and failing the workforce, and they’re suffering from moral injury from constantly having to apologise to their patients.”
