From Public Health Scotland, yesterday, the above and:
80.4% of people of all ages started their treatment within 18 weeks of referral, compared to 80.0% of people for the previous quarter, and 80.6% of people for the quarter ending December 2023. 50% of people of all ages starting PT treatment started within 3 weeks of referral, which is the same as the previous quarter and for quarter ending December 2023.
How does this compare?
In NHS Wales, under less-ambitious Labour:
Welsh Government aims for 80% of people to access specialist psychological therapies within six months of a referral……..even that much easier target has never been met.
Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
Labour Government , whether in Wales or Scotland or the UK , is a failed experiment which should be consigned to the waste bin of history .
You won’t hear Anas Sarwar or Damn Jaikie Baillie ever put Scottish Health stats in context within those of the UK as OURS are almost always far more favourable due to better a management of resources in Scotland .
Not surprisingly , the ”Scottish media ” never grasp this nettle ( thistle ? ) as they are simply propaganda outlets for unionist politicians .

Yep the SNP are performing miracles in their ‘management of resources’ (economy) in Scotland against massive odds of being shackeld to the country next door which decides HOW MUCH Scotland has to spend on well, anything really. Scotland’s ‘resources’, amounting to £trillions over time, are taken as gratis by the country next door, England, and a few crumbs sent back to Scotland with added contempt and ridicule.
The Labour shills operating in Scotland at Holyrood, are determined to keep things just the way they are because that’s what their bosses in Westminster want and need to keep England’s lights on etc, in fact put nothing past them to emnact a coup of some sort and oust the SNP by hook, and by crook…it’s what colonisers and bullies do.
