SNP First Minister Sturgeon under fire over private firms doing routine operations in hospitals

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has come under fire over claims that private firms are being brought in to carry "routine operations" at the heart of Scotland's NHS.

SNP's Nicola Sturgeon insisted that private sector is used at the "very margins" of the NHS north of the border.

But Labour leader Richard Leonard said during First Ministers Questions today that a private firm is being lined up to carry out knee and hip operations at Glasgow's Gartnavel Hospital.
