Scottish Labour criticizes SNP for missing NHS wait time targets, with over 100,000 still waiting.

Scottish Labour criticized the SNP government for failing to meet its pledge to eliminate NHS wait times over 12 months by September, with 100,968 people still waiting. Labour claims this has led to a two-tier health system, forcing people to use savings for treatment. Health Secretary Neil Gray responded that £30 million is being invested to tackle delays, aiming for additional appointments and procedures, with NHS boards to receive an extra £2 billion.
