INVEST IN LOCAL SERVICES AND STOP THE SNP CUTS Time to end SNP cuts Labour candidates will stand up for the and and put your interests first.

Labour will reject SNP cuts and instead will invest in the future of our people and our area.

That means investing in education so our young people get the best start in life; investing in jobs so our econo- my grows and providing care for our older people. Only Labour will work for you and invest in your future.

Hands off our hospital The SNP Government has been in charge for 10 years and during this time services have been slashed—staff numbers are down, beds are cut and wards closed.

Vital local services and labs have been centralised at the RAH in Paisley.

Now our GP Out of Hours Service is under threat and the future of the Medical Assessment Unit is uncertain.

We promise to stand up and fight for the Vale of Leven Hospital and local health services, unlike the local SNP leader who voted for cuts.
