[Lothian LMC @lothianlmc]

Grateful to @HumzaYousaf for attending #SLMC2022. We acknowledge difficult decisions have to be made but targeting Primary Care for cuts is simply wrong. When the system is unstable, reinforce the foundations.

[BMA Scotland @BMAScotland]

Cabinet Secretary @HumzaYousaf is now addressing #slmc22

“I am eternally grateful to general practice.”

[Jennifer Trueland @JenTrueland]

And here's @TheDrMagazine's report of @AndrewBuist17's speech to #SLMC22 this morning. @BMAScotland. Safe to say he's a bit unhappy. https://t.co/jpTUxeZZ6r

[BMA Scotland @BMAScotland]

“We are facing a wretched situation where we have to reprofile money in the health and social care budget”

#slmc22

[BMA Scotland @BMAScotland]

You can hear @AndrewBuist17’s thoughts on our GP well-being surgery and today’s #SLMC22 on this evening’s STV news.

[Jennifer Trueland @JenTrueland]

Humza Yousaf says he’s not ‘dismissive or complacent’ about challenges facing general practice. Recognises sustainability challenges. But says his budget is also stretched by high energy costs. He is in ‘Wretched position’ of taking money from parts of service. #SLMC22
