Alex Cole-Hamilton, the Scottish Liberal Democrat leader, stated that his party is on the verge of a historic breakthrough in the upcoming Holyrood elections next May.
Cole-Hamilton emphasized that the Liberal Democrats will offer voters "hope" and a "realistic plan" during his speech at the party conference in Glasgow on Saturday.
Scottish Liberal Democrats secured £15 million more for GPs in the Scottish Budget this year, to alleviate some of the recruitment and retention issues that practices are struggling with right now, to make it easier for people to see a GP.
The party's main focus leading up to the elections will include commitments to training and recruiting staff such as nurses, mental health professionals, and physios.
