THE NHS in England is in crisis and only independence can save it in Scotland the SNP claim.
Reports from south of the border suggest a service at "breaking point" from government cuts and increased privatisation.
Aileen McLeod, SNP MSP said: "By 2020, around half of the NHS in England will be run by private companies.
"With devolved powers over health, the Scottish Parliament has managed to protect our NHS but the consequential cuts to the Scottish budget would put real pressure on our NHS."
