In Holyrood, last Friday, Monica Lennon (Central Scotland) (Scottish Labour) asked the Scottish Government what its response is to reported concerns by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine that lack of capacity in hospitals will lead to A&E delays and ambulance queues.

The RCEM study does not offer a ‘regional’ breakdown and is based on a sample of only 89 senior clinicians, representing up to 110 Emergency Departments.

We’ve seen Royal College surveys before with tiny or zero Scottish samples then picked up by opposition politicians or Scottish media to use as evidence of problems here.
I remain happy to be corrected but doubt that I will because if any one had photos of overcrowded emergency departments in Scotland, we’d soon see them.
Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
Labour’s Monica Lennon was sexually assaulted by a Senior Labour colleague at a Labour ‘Do’. She went to the press about it & told her story. She withheld the name of her assailant. “she felt she would not be believed.!”. What does that tell you about Monica & the Labour Party?

Looking at the most recent weekly A&E figures for NHS Scotland published by Public Health Scotland they do not seem to be in anyway out of the ordinary. The number of attendances are not far off the usual pre-Covid levels.
Here are the main points for the week ending 11th Oct.
“”Attendances at A&E services in NHSScotland has seen a large drop since the week ending 22 March 2020, this will be due to the measures put in place to respond to COVID-19.
“”During week ending 11 October 2020:
“”There were 22,181 attendances at A&E services in NHSScotland.
88% of attendances at A&E services were seen and resulted in a subsequent admission, transfer or discharge within 4 hours.
332 patients spent more than 8 hours in an A&E department.
46 patients spent more than 12 hours in an A&E department.””

Monica wants a second referendum. She is in a party that refuses it.
Killed and maimed millions in an illegal war. Wasting £Trns. Supported austerity. Leading to deaths. The McCrone Report. Not too good at statistics. Hypocrites.
