Chaired the Cabinet meeting earlier today and it’s a busy week ahead. This is how we are delivering on your priorities. 👇🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

The number of NHS operations is up on the year before, according to latest statistics.

Long waits are down for 11 months in a row, and we exceeded our target of 150,000 extra appointments and procedures.

More to do, but this is good progress. Thank you to our NHS staff. 👏

[David Linden MSP @DavidLinden]

Thanks to those who booked into my surgery in Riddrie today. My team and I have picked up cases relating to housing, the tribunal service, as well as tax matters. If you’d like to book an appointment for my next weekly advice surgery, please get in touch.

[David Linden MSP @DavidLinden]

📣 Back on the doorstep, thanking constituents for their support in the election and making sure residents have my contact details. It’s a privilege to serve our community.

☕️ Coffee Corner in Sandyhills is 10 years old! Great to hand over this @ScotParl motion of commendation & chat through the issues facing SMEs, of which Susan is such a strong advocate. Here’s to many more years of successful trading… and fuelling your MSP with caffeine!

⚡Another energy bill rise from Labour. 🙄

Scotland needs independence.

[David Linden MSP @DavidLinden]

🏠 Grateful to @ShettlestonHA Chief Executive Tony Teasdale for taking the time to meet with me today. Providing over 2,400 affordable homes, SHA is such a valued part of our community, with an outstanding commitment to supporting tenants.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

We are delivering the best cost of living support in the UK, and we will go further by capping bus fares and essential food prices.

But as energy bills rise again, the UK Government must stop dithering and act now. And if they won't, devolve the energy powers so that we can.

[Scottish Government @scotgov]

We are calling on the UK Government to give Scotland full control over its energy.

This will allow Scotland's energy wealth to be used to help Scottish households, communities and businesses.

Watch for more.

[David Linden MSP @DavidLinden]

Michael’s testimony for the Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland manifesto powerfully outlines how timely access to thrombectomy can make a big difference to stroke survivors but they shouldn’t face a postcode lottery.

[David Linden MSP @DavidLinden]

🖊️ I’ve written to @NHSGGC about the importance of rolling out 24/7 thrombectomy provision.

[David Linden MSP @DavidLinden]

Thrombectomy is a life-changing procedure that can dramatically improve recovery outcomes for stroke survivors, as well as save the NHS significant sums of money further down the line but we need to do more to ensure it is available 24/7.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

Latest stats show long outpatient waits in Scotland falling for the eleventh consecutive month.

And we have exceeded our target of 150,000 additional appointments and procedures - over 168,000 have been delivered.

Thank you to our NHS staff for all your hard work. 👏

[David Linden MSP @DavidLinden]

🏥 More progress today on reducing NHS waiting times.

📉 Long waits for inpatient and day procedures have fallen every month since July 2025, with 52 week waits decreasing by 47.4%.

👏 Massive thanks to NHS staff for all their hard work.

[David Linden MSP @DavidLinden]

Glad to hand over this @ScotParl motion of commendation to Father Stephen Hannah, recognising the contribution the parish makes to the wider community.

[David Linden MSP @DavidLinden]

A pleasure to attend Mass at St Joseph’s tonight and celebrate 50 years of the Parish with Archbishop Nolan and former clergy.
