On Tuesday I questioned Humza Yousaf on the closure of community hospitals and his decision to centralise the vaccination programme which has resulted in elderly and vulnerable constituents having to travel 80-miles round trip to receive their flu jab.

His answer was typical SNP bluster that did not address any of the concerns I raised.

The vaccination programme may well be progressing successfully in the cities but that is not the experience of my rural constituents who have been completely forgotten about.

The Cabinet Secretary may find my question astonishing, I find his ignorance more astonishing still!

I suggest he looks at the data for the vaccination programme in rural areas and actually responds to the particular concerns I have raised with him over the last few weeks.
