Towards a Mutual NHS...

• We need to move, over time, to a more
  inclusive relationship with the Scottish people
• - a relationship where patients and the
  public are affirmed as partners rather than
  recipients of care.
• We need to move towards an NHS that is truly
  publicly owned.
• We need to move towards an NHS where
  ownership and accountability is shared with the
  Scottish people and with the staff of the NHS.
