As Scotland's public spending watchdog says that patients are waiting longer for treatment, are you on an NHS waiting list? Plus the Aberdeen professor composing for the King.

PHONE-IN
Scotland's public spending watchdog has warned that staff shortages, rising costs and lengthening waiting lists are jeopardising the Scottish government's plan to help the NHS recover from Covid. Audit Scotland's annual report says ministers should be more transparent with patients about the "unprecedented challenges" facing the health service. The Scottish government says its recovery plan is backed by record investment.
The report says waiting lists have continued to grow in the 18 months since the government's covid recovery plan was published.
