Labour’s manifesto must rule out the “creeping privatisation agenda” for the health service, John Swinney has said.
With Labour set to unveil its manifesto in Manchester on Thursday, the SNP leader said Labour’s shadow health secretary Wes Streeting is a “clear and present danger” to the NHS.
On Wednesday, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar said his party will “never, ever” privatise the NHS.
But he also said Labour would not rule out using the capacity available in the private sector to drive down waiting lists.
