Responding to John Swinney's speech to SNP Conference this afternoon, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton said:

"After being in power for 17 years the SNP are overseeing spiralling NHS waiting lists and a stagnant economy. While being wracked by scandal and division they have mismanaged vital public services.

"Yet John Swinney would rather keep the focus on breaking up the UK as solution to all of Scotland's ills. It seems the SNP have not learnt anything from the defeat voters handed them in the election.

"When I am out knocking on doors, no one is interested in wasting more time on constitutional clashes. They want to see action on long NHS waits, rising violence in schools and our disappointing economic performance. Those are the issues the Liberal Democrats will be focussing on."
