BMA calls for all parties to prioritise NHS staff welfare

THE welfare of NHS staff must be a priority for MSPs after May’s election, Scotland’s doctors said on Wednesday night.

It demanded that the “obsession with blanket and arbitrary targets” be scrapped in favour of a focus on patient outcomes.
