Possibly also interesting to note that he also worked within the NHS for nearly 40 years and during his last 10 years of work was heavily involved with RCN work and still is involved there semi-regularly even though he has been retired for a few years now. His opinion is essentially that the Scottish NHS's only real hope is in being protected by the SNP, that it is still at some risk under Labour, and that the wider UK NHS under the Conservatives will be completely and utterly screwed.

That's very interesting.
I do have friends and family in Scotland who are also definitely changing their votes to SNP.
They were mostly Lib Dem before however.

The ones who voted Labour last time, I am finding they are looking strongly at the SNP but feel on the day they will still more than likely vote Labour on the day.

It is just all the pundits say there are loads of undecided voters in Scotland still at this time,so I was curious.
I cannot fault your Dad's view that the SNP have done good for Scotland and the NHS there too.
The NHS will always have issues here and there and things going wrong but I give full credit to the SNP for their efforts as to it.

Thank you very much for sharing that info ToySoldier.
