The NHS

That would fine if every single person had to pay it , but reckon most would be exempt, so those already paying for it through their taxes, would be the only ones paying it , would be easier just putting a penny on income tax

There is no guarantee that the putting a penny on Scottish income tax would guarantee that the taxation raised was ploughed into NHS Scotland.
It is more likely to be squandered on SNP and Greens Scottish Government Ministers ‘pet projects’.
One of the problems with NHS Scotland is that they adopt a ‘one size, fits all’ instead of health being tailored to the needs of different parts of Scotland.
I will give you an example of a NHS Scotland announcement which is a ‘one size, fits all’.
There is a NHS Scotland letter on the noticeboard in my local GP surgery on Islay
It states that if people have problems with their eyes they must not contact their GP surgery but instead contact their own optician or the optician on Islay who is based in Oban and only travels to Islay for appointments once every four weeks.
I mentioned to the receptionist in my GP surgery that the NHS Scotland letter about people on Islay having eye problems was no use as there is no permanent optician based on Islay.
The receptionist replied that everyone on Islay knows this.
I replied “What about the thousands of tourists who come to Islay for a holiday throughout the year. What are they going to do if they suffer eye problems on holiday”.
This is why NHS Scotland is a shambles because the well paid bosses are clueless what happens outside the central belt of Scotland.
