    Achievements part 1

    Getting fed up of our Governments nit pickers having a go at them just for the sake of it. So here a list of what I think are their achievements

    Record funding for Scotland’s NHS, with the overall health budget at £13 billion in 2016 – over £3.3 billion more than when the SNP first took office.
    Free, high quality childcare is increased to 16 hours a week for all 3 and 4 year olds – up from 12.5 hours in 2007, extended to 2 year olds from low income households too.
    Employment at its highest ever level. Latest figures, 2,636,000 people in work.
    Pupils are achieving more than ever with a reformed curriculum, record exam passes and 93% of school leavers now going on to work, training or education.
    Council Tax frozen saving the average Band D household £1,550 by April 2017.
    1.3 million older and disabled people benefit from free public transport through the National Concessionary Bus Travel Scheme – now extended to help disabled veterans.
    Target to build 30,000 affordable homes exceeded, with an investment of £1.7 billion.
    Free tuition maintained, saving students up to £27,000 compared to England.
    Jobs and businesses protected from recession by cutting business rates for almost 100,000 small and medium-sized businesses.
    78,000 elderly benefit from access to a wide range of personal care without charge.
    Recorded crime in Scotland has reached its lowest level in 41 years.
    Free prescriptions protected, saving people with chronic conditions over £100 a year.
    Road Equivalent Tariff rolled out to all ferry routes in the Clyde and Hebrides, cutting fares by around 40%.
    178,000 low income households helped to buy essentials such as nappies, food and cookers through our Scottish Welfare Fund since it was established in 2013.
    By keeping Scottish Water in public hands customers pay less for a better service – charges for the average household bill are £39 lower than in England and Wales.

    And in the real world someone I know waited 4 months for a hospital appointment and now is in the third month waiting for another one. They could be dead before they see a specialist. My brother in law is a copper as is a friend who says the force is a complete mess with moral the lowest they have ever seen it. My mates ex wife is a primary school teacher who is totally p1ssed off with the snp's false promises eg classroom sizes.
    It's very easy to copy and paste figures etc of so called achievements as you could do about the Labour Party, Lib Dems, Tories, Greens (no sorry that's taking it to far, the greens ) but in the real world we can see most of it is bullsh1t.
    So live in the real world Stewarty and take your copy and paste sh1t and stick it where the sun doesn't shine

    "very easy to copy and paste figures"

    As easy as it is to pull singular examples to counteract an argument?

    In percentage terms, how much has the SNP spent on increasing the NHS budget in relation to how much they received due to Barnett consequentials?

    Fair point Tainted.. But you could also argue every country carries a deficit. Out of the last 32 years only the last four were in Deficit the previous were surplus. Compare our 15b to the UKs 1.6 TRILLION part of our deficit is servicing that massive debt. Anyway GERS is also totally irrelevant in the context of independence the entire point of independence is to NOT keep doing everything in Scotland the same way it’s been done in the UK.

    PS you must be really excited about part 2 of the achievements. I know walloper is.
