JOHN Swinney will today announce £25.5million of extra NHS funding to deliver more appointments in an attempt to bring down waiting times.
The cash will be shared across nine health boards including Greater Glasgow and Lothian, which are suffering from the biggest backlogs at a time around one in six Scots are currently stuck on some kind of health waiting list.
The First Minister previously announced a plan to open a network of new GP walk-in centres to reduce the 8am rush patients often face to book an appointment at their local surgery.
The first such facility is expected to open within the next 12 months.
