Scotland’s public services should take centre stage in the May 3 election, not constitutional issues, according to UNISON general secretary Dave Prentice.
UNISON is Scotland’s biggest public sector union and Prentice, speaking ahead of the STUC congress in Glasgow beginning today, said the electorate is also more concerned about the provision of public services than constitutional matters like independence.

Prentice said:

“It is important that we refocus the election campaign away from issues of the constitution and towards issues that really matter, and which recent BBC polls have told us are the most important issue for the Scots electorate - the provision of services on which individuals, families and communities depend, and how those are delivered.

“The Scots electorate have, like UNISON, rejected the argument that it does not matter who delivers their services. Indeed it is rather like arguing that it does not matter who is elected on 3 May. It matters a great deal.”
