SCOTTISH Labour’s health spokeswoman Monica Lennon accused Nicola Sturgeon’s SNP of failing the NHS today after a new report highlighted a potential £1.8 billion funding gap.

The report, from watchdog Audit Scotland, said that the NHS was “seriously struggling to become financially sustainable.”

It states that, without “system-wide reform,” projections show a £1.8bn shortfall by 2023.
