We look forward to tomorrow's Scottish Parliament debate on employer's national insurance contributions. The UK government should exempt general practice from the increase in contributions, failing that, the Scottish Government must mitigate the costs.

We welcome today's speech from @ScotGovFM on renewing the NHS. Read our full response here: rcgp.org.uk/News/scotland-…

"We've listened and we've been persuaded." We welcome @ScotGovFM's acceptance of our long-standing call for a greater proportion of new NHS funding to go to primary and community care to give GPs the resources they need.

If this transpires will leave us hundreds of millions short of £500m+ cost for directly employed public services. Means Scottish public services will be paying UK Treasury for UK tax rise. Also doesn’t cover contractors - GPs, pharmacists, social care & 3rd sector - so damaging

Sorry to not be able to join in person! Lots of important debates and inspiring conversations, very happy to see @stuartdshand arriving as a new ballot member

Definitely worth to listen! I am Working in a rural setting and it has been an incredible experience—challenging, rewarding, and full of opportunities to make a real difference. Grateful every day for this journey.
