Closing NHS Lothian Funding Gap

  • Submitted by: Jeremy Balfour, Lothian, Independent
  • Date lodged: Wednesday, 10 December 2025
  • Motion type: Standard Motion
  • Motion reference: S6M-20085
  • Current status: Fallen

That the Parliament understands that NHS Lothian reportedly faces a £50 million funding gap, even after identifying £54 million in savings this year, and believes that short-term cuts will not fix long-term problems and that the NHS board requires a patient-first strategy to cut waste and reinvest every pound saved directly into frontline services across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
