SNP Scottish government allegedly covered up delays in its NTC scheme to reduce NHS waiting lists.

The SNP Scottish government is accused of covering up delays in its national treatment centres (NTC) scheme, which aimed to reduce NHS waiting lists. Ten centres were planned by 2026, but half of the projects were paused due to a freeze on capital projects. Documents obtained via FOI show officials knew of the delays as early as September 2023, sparking allegations of a cover-up to "save face."
