Part of 3. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:46 pm on 12 November 2019.
Well, I thank the Member for the points she makes, and I have looked with interest at the proposal that the Scottish National Party has made for legislation in this area. As I understand it, that is legislation that they intend to move on the floor of the House of Commons, rather than in the Scottish Parliament itself. So, I look forward to seeing further details of it. I look forward to seeing how they intend to make progress with that Bill. Anything that puts a barrier in the path of those who would seek to change the nature of our health service, alter the basis on which people have been able to enjoy it over the last 70 and more years, has to be worth considering. And she's right, of course, the sounds that we hear from the other side of the Chamber are full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
