Scottish Labour says ‘we shouldn’t be fooled by’ SNP's NHS protection Bill
Scottish National Party (SNP) leader Nicola Sturgeon speaks at the party's General Election campaign launch in Edinburgh

SCOTTISH Labour leader Richard Leonard hit out at the SNP today over its NHS protection Bill election pledge.

SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon announced the Bill at her party’s election campaign launch in Edinburgh, saying that SNP MPs would table it in the next parliament to protect the NHS from privatisation and future trade deals.

The pledge follows reports that parts of the NHS could be sold to the US in post-Brexit trade deals.
