Royal College of Nursing Hustings, Southern General Hospital
Katy was one of only 3 political party representatives who attended the Royal College of Nursing hustings with nurses from across Glasgow on Thursday 15th March. The Liberal Democrats take the concerns of nurses seriously and Katy welcomed the opportunity to engage in discussion with staff on the front line.
A whole range of issues were covered, from the recent pay rise (which is not being staggered in Scotland, unlike in England where the Liberal Democrats are not part of the government), to car parking charges, PFI, progress on Agenda for Change and the operation of NHS 24.
Katy’s key messages were that the Liberal Democrats were committed to making health care as local as possible, were focused on health promotion to reduce the levels of ill health and are serious about consulting the public on major changes to health care in their areas were well received by the audience.
For further information on Liberal Democrat policies on health care read the pre-manifesto from the Scottish Lib Dems.
