NHS funding

Ian Kinniburgh as chairman of Shetland NHS board responded on 10 March to comments from Tavish Scott about Shetland NHS being “short-changed” by the Scottish government.

The letter spelt out that NHS Shetland was not being short changed.

It was quite a technical letter. Either the LibDems did not read it or did not understand the letter because the same “short-changed” accusation is made in Alistair Carmichael’s election communication.

In an election these things happen when you are desperate.
