I am aware of that as I worked in primary care and had to negotiate deals for my practice out with the NHS framework . Compels obviously have a contract with PHE and they are insisting as ,possibly their biggest customer that they get the their entire output as per a possible clause in their contract ? I repeat it’s not ideal , it would be better if Compel explained exactly why they can’t supply other healthcare providers . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards the Business Support Grant, tough as it may seem for multi-outlet businesses, especially over more than one Local Authority (LA) - particularly evident in Ayrshire where we have, in my opinion, the madness of 3 LAs, it is a decision taken to genuinely assist more businesses in a wider range of sectors, many having a unique importance to the Scottish economy. This kind of difference in grant funding styles is always evident throughout the UK. For example, Regional Selective Assistance (RSA) here is different than in SW England, Yorkshire and so on. It has to be to be effective. I would suggest it is not the system that is unfair, but it has been communicated poorly. There are businesses here who can access the grant here but couldn't if they were in rUK. Are you suggesting that they should feel bad because they are denying multi-outlet businesses more of a finite budget and they should, in fact, be getting nothing if we just did the same as England ? Perhaps we are doing it more fairly than down south ? -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The initial allocation of this cash helped a lot of smaller business in Scotland who were not eligible for support under the English scheme There are always winners and losers in these scenarios but Kate Forbes should be given credit for trying to make this cash help as many businesses as possible For me it doesn’t matter a fk when the press release goes out 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teresa Mays former communications guy was saying exactly the same thing on twitter last night.. Excitable questions about “government U-turns” (or responding to new advice when the evidence changes), “cabinet splits” (or just different points of view) and other “gotcha” techniques are jarring at best 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you unequivocally that Chapman’s comments are unacceptable. There should be no attempts at point scoring just now. However, your comment would be fairer and better in tone if you had used “he/his” rather than “they/their” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland is and always was dispensible to England. Thats the truth you will always deny. An asset to be exploited regardless of how we vote. The biggest mugs in history and a populace who can be so easily maniplulated. Look through history. SNP are not my party and as usual you jump to conclusions. I do want a free Scotland though, which, if ultimately governed by others, as the direct will of the Scots, as opposed to the UK majority then do be it.

A significant percentage of the active social media population is moronically stupid - on both sides of any debate. It is easy for you to find stuff to post here to reinforce your view - but I remain convinced that what you constantly post is not representative of what mainstream pro-Indy or SNP people think. The zoomers are a small minority. Most of us on here will not defend the indefensible when someone badly crosses a line (ie Mackay or every time that twat Mason opens his mouth) It would be really easy to flood these pages with examples of crass tweets from unionists but that would just be whataboutery and do nothing to enhance debate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Jason Leitch has apologised for his rubbish claims and that the Scottish Government were correct to question this but that won’t satisfy you Mclean. Quick, get googling to find out more SNP bad stories. Funny how you didn’t find the one about the female Labour MP that said the Labour Party is not the party for benefit claimers. Sounds like a Tory who think all benefit claimants are scroungers.

When you watch the Scottish govt press conferences and see the quality of the opposition, no wonder folk leaving in droves. They are laughable if it was not so serious. Labour guy yesterday telling Sturgeon a fella hadnt got his isolation letter and he was scared to go out and what she gonna do about it?. Here's an idea, instead of trying to score a political point, Sturgeon correctly pointed out. "Phone your GP'"!!! Doh! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
