It looks as if the Labour election campaign still hasn’t come to terms with the idea that health is a devolved issue:
From politics.co.uk:
Scottish nationalists will today demand that Labour retracts a "misleading and inaccurate" letter sent to Scottish voters about its health pledges.
The letter from Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott uses Labour’s pledge that no one will wait more than 18 weeks for hospital treatment, which applies to England.
The SNP is angry because Scottish Labour revealed last week that its target for treatment is 36 weeks – double that for England.
