Responding to the news that junior doctors are set to strike in mid-July after rejecting the Scottish Government’s pay offer, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader and health spokesperson Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:  

“Today’s news might make Humza Yousaf think twice before he indulges in his over-confident boast that Scotland is the only place in the UK where health strikes don’t happen.

“There is no escaping the fact that both staff and patients have never had it so tough, with long waits and wards dangerously understaffed.

“Michael Matheson must escalate talks with the BMA and find a way to bring this dispute to a swift conclusion.”
