IT was hugely significant that the auditor general recently reported that poor mental health cost the Scottish economy £8.8 billion in 2019.
Worse than the financial cost is the human cost, the misery of the people affected and their families, friends and communities. The human cost of long NHS waiting times is similar.
Scottish Government funding is adversely affected by UK Government austerity economic decisions. Scottish governments can’t borrow money and can’t increase the quantity of currency to increase resources such as additional NHS hospitals – which wouldn’t reduce the strength of the currency. Do they actually want poorer people to be too depressed and stressed to not be able to think about what politicians are doing, such as reducing their human rights?
Austerity economics cuts to the NHS, education, housing, policing and so on were imposed by UK governments run by parties which did not have the majority of seats in Scotland. Article 2 covers the rights of the people. Within it, Section 2.11 indicates: “All citizens have the right to free, quality healthcare at the point of need, subject to available resources.” Some might feel an amendment should be made to remove “subject to available resources”. On the other hand, some might support including “currency supply must increase if necessary to finance the availability of such resources”.
