The NHS has become a key election battleground with a Conservatives pledge of an extra £8 billion a year for the NHS in England by 2020. Both Labour and the Liberal Democrats have attacked the announcement as an "unfunded" spending commitment.
Meanwhile, Labour is pledging one-to-one midwife care for every woman during childbirth as it launches its health manifesto.
Nicola Sturgeon has said the SNP “is the only party to put forward funded plans for the NHS across the whole of the UK, meeting the £8 billion challenge in England and providing a total increase of £2 billion for Scotland's NHS".
"Without genuine additional funding these Tory plans will see cuts to services like social care, police and local government - all of which are vital in keeping the pressure off the NHS", she added.
"This is a clear illustration of why Tory austerity must end if we are to properly protect our public services.
"Meanwhile, Labour's failure to commit to match our NHS spending plans for Scotland is another reason why voters are backing a strong team of SNP MPs to protect Scotland's health service."
The NHS has become a key battleground for the political parties as election day moves ever closer.
Labour is to launch its Health Manifesto which it says will "put personalised care at its heart".
The Conservatives have upped the ante in the key election battleground of the NHS but are accused of issuing an "unfunded" spending pledge.
