<p>On this week's Gulhane on Politics:</p> <p>The ongoing saga of the SNP in crisis;</p> <p>Tackling less survivable brain cancers;</p> <p>and a father's heart breaking story of his daughter's life limiting condition.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The SNP drama is playing out like a Netflix mini series.</p> <p>Police Scotland pitched its tent on Nicola Sturgeon’s front lawn and arrested her husband, Peter Murrell – all in connection with an ongoing investigation into the SNP’s murky finances. </p> <p>Officers also turned up at Mr Murrell’s 92 year old mother’s driveway in Dunfermline and towed away a luxury campervan.</p> <p>A newly-minted and mortified First Minister Humza Yousaf then had to admit that the SNP’s auditors resigned way back in October last year and that the Party’s executive kept this secret. </p> <p>Then the SNP’s own Treasurer was arrested – which begs the questions, who will be next ?</p> <p>It seems that no audit firm in Scotland wants to touch the SNP’s accounts, so Humza found a small firm near Manchester to look at his books – a firm that’s being closely watched as its own record in regulatory compliance and tax matters has certainly raised eyebrows.</p> <p>You really couldn’t make this up ! </p> <p>And I for one, can’t wait to find out what’s going to happen in the next episode of “Desperate Humza”.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Delegates at the Scottish Conservatives Spring Conference certainly lapped-up the many gags about the SNP’s ongoing woes.</p> <p>That said, my main focus was on policy and how our Party will deliver on Scotland’s real priorities.</p> <p>My key speech focused on “Rebuilding our NHS”.</p> <p>Over many months, I’ve listened to NHS professionals, healthcare charities, universities, health economists and patient groups in order to develop a plan for our NHS that is far advanced than anything the SNP has ever dreamt of over the past decade.</p> <p>Policies must be fit for purpose, fit for the 21st century – which means embracing technology, prioritising investment, incentivising staff and strengthening preventative healthcare. </p> <p>We need to focus more on what keeps us healthy rather than using the NHS as a repair shop. </p> <p>Our NHS must be modern, efficient and focused on local delivery so healthcare is accessible for all of our population.</p> <p>And this will be a key focus during this series of Gulhane on Politics – policy and solutions on how to achieve a modern, efficient and local NHS for Scotland.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Brain cancer is one of the six common cancers with poor survival rates. </p> <p>Along with lung cancer, liver, oesophagus, pancreas and the stomach, we call these less survivable cancers as their average five-year survival rate is just 16%.</p> <p>Over 9,000 people will be diagnosed with one of these cancers in Scotland each year – a quarter of all cancer diagnoses. </p> <p>And these six cancers account for 40% all cancer deaths, claiming over 7,000 lives in Scotland annually. </p> <p>So can we do more to identify brain cancer and provide better treatments ?</p> <p>I recently spoke about brain cancer in the Scottish Parliament.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Epidermolysis bullosa, or EB, is the name for a group of rare inherited skin disorders that cause the skin to become very fragile. </p> <p>Any trauma or friction to the skin can cause painful blisters.</p> <p>EB is caused by a faulty gene and is usually diagnosed in babies and young children, as the symptoms can be obvious from birth.</p> <p>To understand more about caring for a child with EB and also to find out if there are new treatments on the horizon, I had a 3 way call with Andy Grist, father of Isla; dermatologist Dr Sagair Hussain and Laura Forsyth from the national EB charity, DEBRA.</p> <p>www.debra.org.uk</p> <p><br></p> <p>Thank you for listening - Please be sure to subscribe.</p> <p> </p>
