    Great work, John. I always get an uplift coming on here. It makes a change from the incessant attacks on the Scottish NHS from our new Tory MP and ex-MSP, John Lamont, who I was pleased to see taken severely to task in a local paper for his inaccurate criticisms.

    Just been having a bit of a spat with Delshad Rashid about this, been working for a medical professor of late, his view mirrors that above, his big fear at the moment is Brexit, he is heavily involved in medical research and is seeing private funding that would normally come to Scotland being invested in research elsewhere, his comment was that top researchers employed here are now looking abroad to follow the research funding, these researchers are not on mega money, many do it for the intellectual stimulation and the satisfaction of having helped make a difference, Scotland and Edinburgh in particular is a centre of excellence in medical research, it is now in decline as we speak, that field is now on the down turn due to Brexit.

    Radio Scotland between 1.30 to 2.00pm programme talking about Scotland’s NHS only managed to listen for a few mins during which I heard the presenter say ” We often talk about the problem’s in Scotland’s NHS, but here’s some good news on Vaccinations” that means the BBC coverage running down our NHS must be true.
