That shortfall among many others is due to the continued slashing of Scotlands funding, so all departments across the board are getting cut. That's the cruzx of the whole issue in that Scotland can controll all of it's money and it can fully fund whatever it wants because it will be a richer nation, even a slight increase in funding is better than the relentless austerity which will see a further 25Bn promised cuts. So yes there is going to be a 450 million shortfall in the NHS but this is wholly avoidable if we get full control over our resources. These shortfalls are not unique to the NHS across everywhere there are shortfalls and legally Scotland is required to balance the books which the do a fucking amazing job of doing despite westminsters best efforts.
