Humza Yousaf attacked over NHS failures as Labour brands him 'unqualified' to be First Minister
Humza Yousaf's record as health secretary has faced renewed criticism after an official report warned the NHS is "unlikely" to meet recruitment targets.
The report said the GP workforce increased by just 113 between 2017 and 2022. It was also noted that targets to recruit 1,000 additional mental health staff are “at risk” due to cuts of £65 million from primary care and £35 million from mental health services. "It is shocking that the worst health secretary since devolution - who has presided over nothing but chaos since he took on the role - is now being encouraged to fail upwards by a party that is out of ideas and out of time.
Responding to the report, the health secretary said it reaffirms the "challenges and successes" of the Covid-19 recovery.
