The number of NHS operations is up on the year before, according to latest statistics.
Long waits are down for 11 months in a row, and we exceeded our target of 150,000 extra appointments and procedures.
More to do, but this is good progress. Thank you to our NHS staff. 👏

In a country as wealthy as Scotland, nobody should be struggling to make ends meet.
While the UK Labour government sits on its hands, the SNP will always act to help people with the cost of living using all powers we have - including capping bus fares and essential food prices.

Sorry @wesstreeting, but we’ll decide our own future - not you. 🏴

On day one of a new SNP government, I will demand powers over energy to be transferred to the Scottish Parliament - so we can cut bills, protect jobs and unlock investment.
If Westminster will not bring your bills down, they should get out of the way for a government that will.
Colin Beattie MSP for Midlothian North retweeted
The SNP is ready.
Ready to win.
Ready to deliver.
Ready to give Scotland the fresh start it needs with independence.

We just launched our campaign in Glasgow.
For a stronger NHS and more support with the cost of living.
And for an SNP majority that will unlock the transformative change with independence - and lock Farage out of power.
We are ready. 🏴

🚆✅ We're delighted to announce that we're able to resume our normal timetable from Glasgow Central High Level on Wednesday (25 March), after work was completed to reinstate the remaining platforms at the station.
ℹ️ Public safety is still the main priority so not all entrances and exits to the high level are open. An exclusion zone around the area worst affected by the fire is still in place so the entrances to the station on Gordon Street and Union Street will remain closed until further notice.
📱 We're advising customers to continue to check their journey before travelling as there may be some minor alterations to services due to some trains being out of position following the station closure.
