Asked whether the Prime Minister was worried that here were more than fifty percent of Scots asking for independence, the PMOS said he had not seen the survey the journalist was referring to and he would have to study it in more detail.

Put that there were "bunch" of people coming to see the Prime Minister today regarding protecting manufacturing jobs, as well as a "bunch" of health union people outside Parliament, and did the Prime Minister have a message for any of them, the PMOS replied that firstly, the Prime Minister would not speak of them as a "bunch"! In terms of health, the issue was a straightforward one, but of course, there was local consultation. The bottom line was as the Chief Executive of the NHS had said at the Prime Minister's press conference, polishing the status quo was not an option in terms of the health service. That had been underlined by comments today from Niall Dickson from the King's Fund who had said that change was essential. The question was: how was change brought about?
