A constructive meeting with @NHS_Lothian, discussing the urgent need for a new East Calder Health Centre. Actions and timetable have been discussed along with partnership working. Our priority is to deliver a business plan and secure capital funding from Scottish Government.

It's disheartening that waiting times in the NHS continue to rise each week, with higher demands put on staff & less resources from the SNP Government. The SNP is failing our NHS, its time for a new direction with @ScottishLabour. Let's commend the @TheBHF for their incredible work.

Despite record funding from the UK Labour Government, NHS waiting times continue to increase. How can the SNP continue to fail our health service? A new direction is needed.
The UK Labour government delivered a record additional £5.2billion budget settlement for Scotland – this SNP government must urgently reduce waiting times so that patients can get the help they need.

An engaging discussion with @ourseas_scot on Scotland's coasts. 🌊 The current consultation for the National Marine Plan 2 needs to be comprehensive and the Scottish Government should not remove key sectors like fisheries. We need to protect our shores, from Portobello to Cramond. #CoastalTestimonies

Good to meet with @karwanTahir, UK Kurdistan Regional Government High Representative and Scottish-Kurdish community leaders.

We must support investment in Scotland—in light of rapid advancements in AI, it's crucial to boost Scotland's AI sector. With the Prime Minister highlighting our potential for an AI Growth Zone, the Scottish Government should engage with the UK Government on this. #ScotlandAI #Innovation
