00:00C'est mon privilège et l'honneur d'introduire Anna Starwer.
00:05Applaudissements.
00:10Applaudissements.
00:11Friends, in 100 days' time, Scotland faces a choice.
00:15The most significant choice it's had to make in 20 years.
00:20And in 100 days' time, we can save our most pressures and troubles.
00:25A treasured National Health Service.
00:27100 days to take our country in a different direction.
00:30And 100 days to give hope back to the people of this great country.
00:35We have a plan to fix our NHS and make it fit for the future.
00:40But above all else, we want to take our NHS out of the...
00:45Hands of incompetent ministers and bureaucrats and managers and put it...
00:50Back at the hands of the people it truly belongs to.
00:53The patients, the doctors...
00:55And the nurses.
00:56And that's the promise and commitment I make to you.
01:00Now I'll say a bit more about what we will do specifically in a moment.
01:05Let me just say thank you to the speakers that preceded me.
01:08First of all, to Mike...
01:10It's true to say that Mike was not and perhaps...
01:15He may still argue is not a politician.
01:17But he's someone that knows deeply about...
01:20Our NHS and how to fix it.
01:22And I think it demonstrates...
01:25How serious we are about winning this election...
01:28And about fixing our NHS.
01:30That someone like Mike McCurdy who has 40 years of dedicated service to the NHS...
01:35Is willing to be our candidate and willing to help us get our NHS fit.
01:40But it also demonstrates, I think, a challenge for people across our...
01:45Do we sit this one out and hope someone else will come along...
01:50And hopefully things will just get better.
01:52Or are we willing to put our head above the parapet...
01:55To fight for the change that our country so desperately needs.
01:58And all of us, I think...
02:00I want to say a huge thank you to Mike.
02:01That he's one that's willing to put his head above the parapet...
02:04And help us take our...
02:05And help us take our NHS into the future.
02:06Welcome, Mike.
02:07Thank you.
02:10I also want to thank both Francesca and Jordan.
02:15Both who have personal experience like we all do.
02:18We all have personal experience.
02:20Of the NHS personal experiences of when the NHS has been there for us.
02:25And being there to care.
02:26Being there to treasure.
02:27And actually had really positive interventions.
02:30In our life.
02:31But all of us, too, will also know individual stories.
02:34But it hasn't...
02:35Quite worked out the way it should do.
02:37Sadly, in the case for Jordan...
02:40With his mum.
02:42For countless others in their own family.
02:45Care whether that be in terms of speed of delivery.
02:48Or the need to go private.
02:50Or in the ultimate case.
02:52Of the families involved in the Queen Elizabeth hospital scan.
02:55When it actually felt like the NHS, the managers, the bureaucrats and the ministers conspired...
03:00...against them, rather than was there on their side.
03:03So for all the families...
03:05And for all the patients.
03:07And for all the people who work in our NHS...
03:10Or rely on our NHS every single day.
03:13This election.
03:13And this choice.
03:15Is about you.
03:16It's not about me.
03:18It's not about the Scottish Labour Party.
03:20It's about what happens to the future of that most precious and treasured institution.
03:25The National Health Service.
03:27And it is for you.
03:28The patients.
03:30For you, the doctors.
03:31For you, the nurses.
03:33That we are determined.
03:35To win this election.
03:36And get our NHS back to where it belongs.
03:39And no...
03:40Better advocate for our NHS over the last period has been Jackie Bailey, my...
03:45...fantastic deputy leader, the co-chair of the election campaign, and the person that's going to help master...
03:50...undermind that election victory in a hundred days' time.
03:53And someone too, actually.
03:55...that has been a dedicated champion for NHS voices in our Parliament.
03:59So make sure...
04:00...for Jackie Bailey, please.
04:01Thank you.
04:02Thank you.
04:05And friends, people say, what is that alternative that Labour will deliver?
04:10We'll say a bit about that in a moment.
04:12But I also want to talk about the risk.
04:15We don't change course.
04:16The risk, if we just view this election as in one of...
04:20...one of non-consequence, one of protest, not one ultimately of choice.
04:25This election won't decide what happens somewhere else.
04:28It'll decide what happens somewhere else.
04:30It'll decide what happens here in Scotland.
04:31It'll decide what happens to our schools, our hospitals.
04:35Our GP services, our social care system, our families, our communities, our town.
04:40Our cities, our villages and our islands.
04:43This election is about...
04:45And for any other political party or any other...
04:50...political leader, including the sitting First Minister John Swinney and the SNP...
04:55...they want to make this election about everything but Scotland.
04:57But I'm determined to make it about Scotland.
05:00And who can blame them for wanting to talk about anything else apart from their record?
05:05On their watch, more than 830,000 Scots waiting...
05:10...either for treatment or for diagnosis.
05:12Including almost 10,000 waiting...
05:15...over two years, over two years, over two years...
05:18...on an NHS with...
05:20That's 53 times higher than the number in England, despite their...
05:25...of them having 10 times the size of population we do.
05:29It means for all those...
05:30There's thousands of people who wait far too long at A&E and when the Royal College of Emergency...
05:35...medicine tell us that that leads to unnecessary deaths in the future.
05:40To all those people that are stuck in hospital, desperate to get out, cleared to leave...
05:45...but can't because they can't access that care package either at home or indeed.
05:50...in a care home.
05:51For all those who've had to re-mortgage their homes, borrow from...
05:55...with friends and family or have had to travel elsewhere...
05:57...to get the private diagnosis or the private treatment.
06:00...when they should be getting that here at home.
06:03Those waiting in pain...
06:05...in anxiety...
06:06...and putting their lives on hold.
06:08And all the personal consequences...
06:10...that has on their health, but also on their economic opportunity...
06:13...and indeed on their friends.
06:15...and family.
06:16That's the record of shame for the SNP.
06:19That's...
06:20...that's the record of failure...
06:21...and that's one that we want to stop...
06:23...and take our NHS...
06:25...into the future.
06:26Now people often say that all hope has gone...
06:30...the NHS can never be fixed.
06:32It's always going to be broken.
06:33It can't go back to those founding principles.
06:35I reject that out of hand.
06:37Our NHS can work.
06:40Our NHS can be fit for the future.
06:42Our NHS can deliver for everyone...
06:45...the way it should.
06:46But what we need...
06:47...is a government that meets the ambition of the people...
06:50...that works as hard as our NHS staff do...
06:52...if we are to make it a reality.
06:55So what will Scottish Labour do to fix it?
06:58First, we will declare that national waiting time...
07:00...emergency.
07:01To make sure patients can receive the care they need...
07:03...regardless of where...
07:05...where it is available across the country.
07:08We will also make sure we take capacity...
07:10...wherever it exists...
07:11...so we can clear those backlogs...
07:13...and so people don't have to use their own...
07:15...money to get the treatment they need.
07:17We will reform primary care...
07:19...to end the...
07:20...atm rush for a GP appointment...
07:22...and we will bring back the family doctor.
07:25We will end corridor care...
07:27...and stop all the bed blocking...
07:28...by making sure we invest in...
07:30...social care...
07:31...and the pathways that people need...
07:32...to get those care packages at home...
07:34...or indeed...
07:35...to be...
07:36...have that place...
07:37...in a care home.
07:38We will also bring parity...
07:40...of mental health...
07:41...and physical health...
07:42...by launching...
07:43...the mental health emergency response...
07:45...making sure there are trained...
07:47...paramedics, nurses...
07:48...and mental health support...
07:50...responding directly...
07:51...to 999 calls...
07:53...not untrained police officers.
07:55Now that does two things.
07:57One, of course, it gives better...
07:58...dignity and care to the patient.
08:00...but it also releases...
08:01...those police officers...
08:02...so they're not stuck...
08:03...in AD departments...
08:04...they're not stuck...
08:05...in courtrooms...
08:06...they're not stuck...
08:07...responding to 999 calls...
08:08...instead they're...
08:09...on the front line...
08:10...supporting their communities...
08:11...and fighting crime.
08:13And ultimately...
08:14...we will...
08:15...cut the bureaucracy...
08:16...so we've got...
08:17...fewer chief executives...
08:18...fewer finance directors...
08:20...fewer managers...
08:21...and more nurses...
08:22...and more doctors...
08:23...on the front line...
08:24...fewer...
08:25...are bureaucrats...
08:26...who think their job...
08:27...is to stand up...
08:28...and defend the government...
08:29...and conspire...
08:30...against the patient...
08:31...and more money...
08:32...to the doctors...
08:33...and the nurses...
08:34...that treat the patients...
08:35...and better outcomes...
08:36...for people...
08:37...across the country.
08:38Now let me just say...
08:39...a couple of things...
08:40...and closing...
08:41...before we open up...
08:42...to questions.
08:43First of all...
08:44...on the Queen Elizabeth...
08:45...Univers...
08:45...the hospital.
08:47I've said this already...
08:48...over the course of the last week...
08:49...and I want to repeat it again...
08:50...today.
08:51I believe...
08:53...what has happened...
08:54...at the Queen Elizabeth...
08:55...UNiveristy hospital...
08:56...is criminal incompetence...
08:58...it's negligence...
08:59...it's criminal incompetence...
09:00et ceux qui sont responsables doivent être considérés à l'account.
09:05Ce que l'enquête a fait, c'est que l'enquête des décisions de décision.
09:10Et les décisions de décision en place de décision en place avec des décisions de décision en place.
09:15ce site. Ce qu'il n'a pas fait, c'est investigate et question les responsables pour les politiques
09:20de décision.
09:21So, I believe that Lord Brody should reopen.
09:25...
11:29Thanks very much
11:31And as you mentioned there
11:33There's going to be fewer bureaucrats
11:35that seem as a job to stand up for the...
11:38We also want the number of territorial health workers...
11:43which is down to three...
11:44We assume that the logic from that then is you'll follow...
11:47where street in...
11:49and get rid of NHS Scotland
11:51and get rid of NHS Scotland...
11:53to make health care boxes directly...
11:55The structure's already slightly different to that of NHS England so NHS England wasn't set up...
12:00the same way the same way the same way the same way the same way as NHS Scotland was...
12:03but to the principle of...
12:05of the point...
12:06Kieran...
12:07Yes...
12:08I think about...
12:09it's about time...
12:10We had ministers that took responsibility...
12:12and ministers that were held to account...
12:14If...
12:15something happens...
12:16when I'm a first minister...
12:17and under my government...
12:18I will hold my ministers...
12:20and my officials...
12:21to account...
12:22and not always look for someone else to blame...
12:24and that...
12:25that's sadly what happens too often...
12:27in our National Health Service...
12:28and we will reduce the bureaucracy...
12:30because layer after layer of management...
12:33layer after layer of bureaucracy...
12:35fails the staff...
12:36fails the patients...
12:37and just gives cover and excuses to a government...
12:40that wants to...
12:41just always blame somebody else...
12:42never take responsibility...
12:43and let me just say one thing...
12:45about the culture...
12:46let's not think that this only happens...
12:48in Greater Glasgow and Clyde...
12:50I was in Dundee yesterday...
12:52speaking to the victims...
12:53of El Jamil...
12:55the neurosurgeon...
12:57and all the devastating consequences...
12:59for many families...
13:00in the North East...
13:01and in NHS Tayside in particular...
13:03Day 2 feel frustrated...
13:05the patients...
13:06and the staff...
13:07that raise concerns...
13:08where logbooks have been...
13:10destroyed...
13:11vital logboots...
13:12that are required...
13:13for the public inquiry...
13:14that's happening...
13:15in NHS Tayside...
13:16there is a rotten...
13:17culture...
13:18at the heart...
13:19of government...
13:20bureaucracy...
13:21that exists...
13:22in this country...
13:23where the...
13:24...
13:25culture is one...
13:26of secrecy...
13:27of cover-up...
13:28defend yourself...
13:29defend your own reputation...
13:30defend the institution...
13:31and don't...
13:32defend...
13:33the victim...
13:34or the patient...
13:35that's going to end...
13:36with a Scottish Labour government...
13:37that will end...
13:38if I become...
13:39first minister...
13:40will have institutions...
13:41that are there...
13:42to protect the victim...
13:43and the patient...
13:44not themselves...
13:45institutions...
13:46or individual...
13:47reputations...
13:48Paul?
13:49And...
13:50and ask...
13:50it's...
13:51clearly what you see...
13:52that...
13:53if you're a first minister...
13:54then...
13:55then it gets...
13:56it would be...
13:57your top priority...
13:59It's clearly what you see...
14:00that...
14:01if you're a first minister...
14:02then...
14:03then...
14:04it gets...
14:05it's...
14:06your top priority...
14:07a été prioritisé en termes de cash,
14:09pas de councils.
14:11Donc deux questions.
14:12Comment allez-vous reformer la taxe si vous êtes First Minister ?
14:17Et pouvez-vous rule out a council tax fees
14:19going into this election ?
14:22Je pense, first of all,
14:24if we don't do what's right by councils,
14:26we can't fix the NHS.
14:27Because so much of the problem
14:29that exists in the National Health Service
14:31is the...
14:32the entrance door
14:33and a lack of capacity in primary care
14:36and the exit...
14:37because of a lack of capacity in social care.
14:39And obviously our councils are the ones that are responsible.
14:42for delivering social care across the country.
14:44So fair funding for local government is part...
14:47of the plan to fix the NHS
14:49to make sure it is a wraparound service
14:51where people don't...
14:52get the care they need
14:53so they don't have to go into hospital
14:55and they do get the care they need.
14:57so they can get out of hospital
14:58when they're cleared to do so.
14:59So we will deliver fair funding
15:01for local government.
15:02and then we will have a funding model
15:03that exists
15:04that recognizes that parity
15:05between social care and the...
15:07National Health Service
15:08and we will also recognize parity
15:10that when the Scottish Government budget goes up...
15:12then local government budgets should go up too.
15:14and we will write that into law
15:16through a local democracy.
15:17Act.
15:18On the point you make about council tax...
15:20Look, the council tax system is...
15:22fundamentally broken.
15:24We have got to deliver that fair funding.
15:26The challenge...
15:27the challenge we have right now
15:28is you had an SNP government
15:30that posed a freeze on...
15:32being able to don't...
15:34email us about six Covid money
15:35which is how to manage...
15:37not our personal managed Grade
15:42that was only about...
15:43But rather, you know,
15:45that we are using the聽able téléphone
15:46although the entire 얘기 arm
15:49is completely...
15:51experiencing a bit of issues
15:53of部件 certificate
15:55that they need to get rid of.
15:56The point is that...
16:00Hi there, you say that if Labour wins 100 days, you'll shine a light.
16:05What happened to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and those responsible will be made to pay the price.
16:10Can you just outline exactly what you mean by that?
16:12I know you've already talked about reopening the inquiries, but how will you...
16:15Do you ensure that they're made to pay the price?
16:17Just on a separate issue, do you think it was right to go off...
16:20Andy Burnham from Standing, you will see today the letter is signed by 50...
16:25Let me first take the first point, what I mean by pay the price.
16:30They're not going to get to hide anymore.
16:32They will be made to answer for...
16:35...their mistakes.
16:37I would say crimes in...
16:40...the cold light of day.
16:41They will be made to answer in the parliament, they will be made to answer...
16:45...in any relevant investigations and in my view, there should be criminal investigations...
16:50...and the actions and the decisions of those involved because what's...
16:55...that happened here is the almighty negligence where the right questions weren't asked...
17:00...people weren't doing their job and therefore that hospital opened or...
17:05...they knew what was happening and they chose to ignore it anyway...
17:08...because they thought the politics and the presentation...
17:10...was more important than patient safety.
17:12So they are going to be made to answer for...
17:15...those crimes and I mean that for whichever chief executive, whichever chair...
17:20...whichever manager, whichever minister...
17:22...because families deserve justice and the truth.
17:24And let me...
17:25...but I also just emphasize this point, Alistair...
17:27...is the government is now asking us to believe...
17:30...the same people that told the same story for the last ten years...
17:34...and to ignore...
17:35...the same three doctors that raised the same warnings for the last ten years to...
17:40...those three doctors have proven to be right in every single thing they said...
17:45...and those managers and ministers have been proven to be wrong in everything they said.
17:50So I know whose side I'm on.
17:52Those three doctors are whose side I'm on.
17:55If they're not satisfied, I'm not satisfied...
17:57...and no one in the public should be satisfied.
18:00Therefore they had to be at the heart of whatever comes next.
18:03On the question you asked about...
18:05...Andy Burnham, of course, that was a decision taken by the NEC.
18:09Andy Burnham is...
18:10...is a friend of mine, a colleague of mine...
18:12...someone that's doing a fantastic job as Greater Manchester Mayor...
18:15...and they are actually a lesson, I think, that the regions of Scotland can learn from...
18:18...about how you do proper regions...
18:20...of regional economic development.
18:21But now that decision has been made.
18:23The Labour Party has to get behind...
18:25...whoever the candidate is going to be in that by-election...
18:28...and make sure they defeat the poison...
18:30...of reform.
18:31Do you think it was right to make that decision, though?
18:32It's a decision for them, it's a decision for the...
18:35...managers in England to decide what the selection process is for Scotland.
18:39Of course, we decided...
18:40...and it's now for the good people of Manchester to decide.
18:45...who they want their new MP to be...
18:47...and I'm sure they'll have a fantastic Labour candidate to vote.
18:50...to vote for.
18:51Tom Gordon.
