To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made of waiting times for individuals seeking elective surgery for hernias within NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
We know many people are still waiting too long and this is not good enough. We are determined do more and our Budget will provide a record £21.7 billion for health and social care. More than £106 million additional funding has been allocated to Health Boards to help tackle the longest waits for procedures and operations, including more than £5 million targeted funding for General Surgery (the speciality that covers hernia operations).
