Many people have told us how thankful they are that in May 2007 Inverclyde and Scotland voted to elect an SNP Scottish Government, otherwise goodness knows what would have happened to our National Health Service in Scotland under another Labour/Lib Dem Government.
 
As many of you will be aware, up until May 2007 there were plans afoot by Labour and Lib Dem Ministers to close down many A & E departments, including the one at IRH.  As we know Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon and the Scottish Government saved our A & E services by scrapping these potentially life-threatening Labour/Lib Dem plans.
