Leonard said : “We are the only party which is putting forward a democratic solution to the chaos of Brexit.

“We will invest an additional £2 billion a year in the National Health Service in Scotland and that will lead to a significant increase in support so we can fill those GP vacancies – the consultant vacancies which are across Scotland will be filled.

“It means that we can start to look at what we can do to expand the National Health Service instead of it being constantly under pressure.”
