Quotes

"All areas of concern must be investigated and lessons will be learned to ensure that the NHS in Scotland is providing the best possible service to patients."
North Ayrshire Council leader Willie Gibson said: "It has been an outstanding team effort from everyone involved: local people, volunteers, partner bodies, emergency services and our own staff. And on behalf of North Ayrshire Council I wish to extend our thanks to each and every one of them."
"We expected families and individuals to struggle as their incomes were cut. However, the extent of this struggle has been even worse than we had anticipated, and often shocking. We did not expect, for example, to see so many people fall through the 'safety net' so completely that they would be unable to feed themselves. But this is increasingly the reality for many people in Scotland."
"These figures show that our bold breast cancer campaign has been effective in getting people talking about breast cancer, and in encouraging women to contact their GP if they are worried about changes in their breasts."
