A couple of good news stories for the SNP reported in last Wednesday's
Courier. In Dundee the city council's £90 million schools building programme is running to schedule, with seven of the eight schools completed and occupied. SNP education convenor Liz Fordyce said:
I have been impressed by the quality of the new schools and the way these new environments are assisting in our pupils' learning.
Meanwhile, across the silvery Tay in Fife health secretary Nicola Sturgeon officially opened the shiny new St Andrews Community Hospital, waxing lyrically:
This is undoubtedly a fantastic day for St Andrews and a milestone for NHS Fife. Having had the guided tour, I am impressed with what I have seen and it is a real credit to everyone involved in making it a reality. This hospital is about much more than bricks and mortar, what matters is the range of services provided here. Services are integrated and available to people much closer to home and that is the triumph of this hospital. This is a community hospital as they should be. All the staff I have seen today had a smile on their faces, from those working in the canteen to the clinical staff . You can see this hospital is a real source of pride for St Andrews.
That'll be the PPP/PFI then.

PFI repayment this year and every year £800million.
£800 million, how much of that is being spent on 'profit'?
Its just a shame the main papers in Scotland would rather concentrate on issues of negativity around the SNP and fail to publish articles like the one you have.
Well i suppose that's what happens when they take what Foulkes and Gray say as gospel.
