Mr Ross said the SNP government had overseen a “postcode lottery” in Holyrood with more GP surgery closures happening in remote and island communities than in central belt ones.
Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross has claimed the SNP has “failed rural and island communities” on health, as he campaigned in his former constituency.
Mr Ross said a “lot of key seats” in the election were “a straight choice between the Scottish Conservatives and the SNP” and claimed that Labour and the SNP had “very similar policies”. “The shortage of teachers across Scotland, again, is a more significant problem in rural communities than it is in urban ones in the central belt.”
During the media briefing, Mr Ross criticised the SNP’s “obsession” with independence, adding “people can see their focus is not on the issues that really matter”.
