The First Minister said she was 'dispirited' by recent comments from the Labour leader

Nicola Sturgeon has challenged Keir Starmer to commit to investing more in the NHS if his party wins power at the next general election.

She insisted reforms to the health service in Scotland were already underway and her government was "investing to the maximum". "I think what people across the UK probably want to hear from the leader of the opposition, someone who is aspiring to be prime minister in the next couple of few years, is a commitment to invest more in the health service."

"We're doing what we can to maximise the investment going to the NHS. But to go beyond that, we need to see a UK Government that actually lifts the level of the investment going to the NHS. Sturgeon also announced that hospitals in Scotland are seeing a "very slight easing" in winter pressures but remain "very full".
