On 7 May, you can choose change with Anas Sarwar and Scottish Labour to deliver the East Calder Medical Centre.”↗
12 Apr 2026Health & NHSangry“Meanwhile, the current GP practice is stretched to more than three times the number of patients it was designed for. Local people deserve better than SNP promises that never materialise.”↗
12 Apr 2026Health & NHSangry“East Calder was promised a new health centre. Five years on, there’s still nothing. Freedom of Information responses to my office show that the Scottish Government and NHS Lothian has no plans, no correspondence and no delivery model in place.”↗
