New health ministers for Scotland now announced

Scotland's new health ministers have now been announced but it has yet to be decided who will take the lead on pharmacy.

The new cabinet was formed last week following the Scottish National Party’s successful performance in the Scottish Parliamentary election. Nicola Sturgeon MSP (SNP, Glasgow Govan) has been appointed Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing. Her ministerial team comprises Shona Robison MSP (SNP, Dundee East) who has been appointed Minister for Public Health and Stewart Maxwell MSP (SNP, West of Scotland) who has been appointed Minister for Communities and Sport.
