Tale of two governments: health restrictions imposed by Westminster system

The UK government’s plan to cap the number of times patients can visit their local doctor has been condemned by the SNP.

A Tory consultation document on health provision is considering an annual limit on GP appointments in England. The paper also asks whether evening and weekend appointments with GPs and consultants are a "luxury the country cannot afford".

On Sunday Humza Yousaf MSP took part in the 2013 Glasgow Men’s 10k in Bellahouston Park.

The event aims to encourage men in Scotland to take part in healthy physical activity, as well as promoting a healthy lifestyle in the long term and providing an incentive to take up running.

After two consultations the council finally listens to residents

Local politicians in Baillieston have welcomed confirmation from Glasgow City Council that it will ditch its plans to introduce a one-way system in Garrowhill.

SNP politicians, Councillor David Turner and John Mason MSP, have been leading a local campaign which saw hundreds of residents sign a petition calling on Glasgow City Council to think again.
