Scottish independence: Union slogan ‘already taken’
Better Together is described as “Scotland’s Patient Experience Programme” on its official website that talks about trying to improve services based on individual experiences of hospital and other parts of the NHS.

SNP MSP James Dornan said that the Better Together campaign, which is due to be launched next week, was “failing at the first hurdle”.
However, the pro-independence “Yes Scotland” campaign also ran into difficulties after it emerged that a company selling bed and breakfast and hotel breaks used a similar web domain.
Scottish Labour MSP Richard Baker claimed that the SNP’s criticism of the campaign was a “boomerang attack”.
