In 2019, latest figures I can see, Scotland had around 2 300 health visitors.

In 2019, in England, there were only around 8 500 and falling.

All things being equal, England might be expected to have had around 23 000 health visitors but had only 8 500, just over a third.

    How can you say this John there is no Scotland

    Scotland ‘can never’ exist again, says Scottish LibDems leader

    Me trying to be funny but in reality he has just let the cat out of the bag and if Tory/Lab don’t condemn him then they must all think the same.

    1. Yet no such party exists really, the LibDems are another branch office of their Uk party HQd in London. Non Scottish parties should never be allowed to exist again in Scotland post independence, it’s undemocratic.

      1. The minute Scotland votes for Independence these Unionist parties have to disband. There can be no role for them in the negotiations because they are allied to the parties sitting on the other side of the table. New parties, which must be wholly independent of any parties in rUK, can form ready to contest the first post-independence election. But new parties take time to establish and I doubt there would be a role for the current Unionist politicians especially if the new parties want to be seen as free of any connection to those in rUK.
