  • Richard Leonard has resigned as Scottish Labour leader, saying it is in the best interests of the party for him to stand down.<br />
<br />
Mr Leonard said he believed speculation about his leadership had become a "distraction".<br />
<br />
And he said he would be stepping down with immediate effect.  Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard said: “Scotland needs a Labour government now more than ever before. Our National Health Service and public services are at breaking point under the strain of an out-of-control pandemic. Covid is rampant, claiming lives, and striking down so many of our fellow citizens, who are grievously suffering from this awful virus.  Workers’ incomes are being squeezed like never before, with job losses rife and businesses going bust. Too many employees go to work day-in and day-out, night-in and night-out leaving them vulnerable to the virus.   <br />
 <br />
“Both Governments have mishandled its response to Covid, with devastating consequences not least in our care homes. It is essential now that we have an accelerated vaccine roll out – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – to ensure that the most vulnerable and frontline workers are protected against Covid, and that the general population is given greater protection as quickly as possible after that.   <br />
  <br />
“I have thought long and hard over the Christmas period about what this crisis means, and the approach Scottish Labour takes to help tackle it. I have also considered what the speculation about my leadership does to our ability to get Labour’s message across. This has become a distraction.  <br />
 <br />
“I have come to the conclusion it is in the best interests of the party that I step aside as leader of Scottish Labour with immediate effect. This was not an easy decision, but after three years I feel it is the right one for me and for the Party. <br />
 <br />
“I want to thank all those people who placed their hopes in me, and who worked with me in good times and bad. This experience and the great people I have met will live with

  • Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard and Health spokesperson Monica Lennon met with midwives in NHS Lanarkshire, ahead of a Scottish Labour debate which calls on the SNP Government to invest an additional £10 million for the implementation of Best Start and to investigate claims that midwives are not being given sufficient resources to do their jobs.<br />
<br />
Scottish Labour will use parliamentary time this week to call on the SNP Government to investigate reports that midwives do not have enough resources to do their jobs safely.<br />
<br />
Concerns have been raised in an open letter by midwives in NHS Lothian, which claim they do not have enough computers, equipment and pool cars.<br />
<br />
Scottish Labour have also called for an additional £10 million to be allocated towards the implementation of the Best Start recommendations, to ensure that midwives are given adequate time, training and resources.<br />
<br />
Scottish Labour Health Spokesperson Monica Lennon said:<br />
<br />
“Midwives play a crucial role in caring for women and babies. The best way of recognising their contribution to our NHS is by making sure they have enough resources to do their jobs safely.<br />
<br />
“That’s why Scottish Labour is calling on the SNP Government to investigate reports about a lack of equipment and resources, and to provide an additional £10 million towards the implementation of the Best Start recommendations.<br />
<br />
“The Health Secretary must listen to the concerns of midwives and take urgent action to address the workforce crisis.”<br />

  • Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard and Health spokesperson Monica Lennon met with midwives in NHS Lanarkshire, ahead of a Scottish Labour debate which calls on the SNP Government to invest an additional £10 million for the implementation of Best Start and to investigate claims that midwives are not being given sufficient resources to do their jobs.<br />
<br />
Scottish Labour will use parliamentary time this week to call on the SNP Government to investigate reports that midwives do not have enough resources to do their jobs safely.<br />
<br />
Concerns have been raised in an open letter by midwives in NHS Lothian, which claim they do not have enough computers, equipment and pool cars.<br />
<br />
Scottish Labour have also called for an additional £10 million to be allocated towards the implementation of the Best Start recommendations, to ensure that midwives are given adequate time, training and resources.<br />
<br />
Scottish Labour Health Spokesperson Monica Lennon said:<br />
<br />
“Midwives play a crucial role in caring for women and babies. The best way of recognising their contribution to our NHS is by making sure they have enough resources to do their jobs safely.<br />
<br />
“That’s why Scottish Labour is calling on the SNP Government to investigate reports about a lack of equipment and resources, and to provide an additional £10 million towards the implementation of the Best Start recommendations.<br />
