BBC Radio Scotland - Mornings, with Kaye Adams

Also in the show Meryl Williams, Scottish winner of BBC hit The Traitors, Strictly’s Giovanni Pernice on boosting your immune system and has bargain hunting killed the high street?

Today discussing private health care.  If the health service is at breaking point, and if budgets are at their limit, is it time to look at asking people to pay for certain services?
Plans to tackle the mounting pressures in Scotland's NHS will be outlined today by the Health Secretary Humza Yousaf.  Scotland's hospitals are 'almost completely full', with bed occupancy exceeding 95% last week, the first minister has said.   
Both Nicola Sturgeon and Rishi Sunak have been questioned over whether they would go private. 
The first minister has said she would not use private healthcare, the prime minister has refused to say.

Have you chosen or felt forced to use private healthcare?  If so, what’s your experience? Should people who can afford to pay be encouraged to do so?

Kaye asks:   Would you go private for health care?
