FIRST Minister John Swinney will lay out plans for a “substantial increase” in NHS capacity in a keynote speech on Monday.
The SNP leader will tell an audience of representatives from across the health and social care sector that the Scottish Government will ensure an additional 150,000 appointments and procedures per year in a bid to drive down waiting times.
Swinney will also announce plans to increase investment in primary care in order to make it easier for people to see a GP and the roll-out of a Scottish health and social care app labelled a “digital front door” to the NHS.
