David Jacobsen is the Socialist Labour Party candidate for Edinburgh North & Leith

David Jacobsen is the Socialist Labour Party Genera Election candidate for Edinburgh North & Leith Constituency.

David has 20 years experience as a healthcare worker in the NHS and is committed to a National Health service available to all at the time of need, on demand and free of all charges – including prescriptions, dental care, and eye care.

The Socialist Labour Party wants all NHS workers to receive wages and terms and conditions that reflect the social importance of their jobs.

Our objectives include the provision of NHS nursing homes free of charge for people who need them and care homes owned and operated by local authorities and not by private companies chosen by a centralised power controlled by the Scottish government.

On 29th February 2024 the Scottish Parliament passed the National Care Service Bill. This allows Scottish ministers to transfer social care responsibility from local authorities. This could include adult and children’s services as well as areas such as justice and social work.

Mr Jacobsen urges consituents to stop the transfer of healthcare functions from the NHS to the new centralised National Care Service.

Vote Socialist Labour on July 4th!
