Commenting on the news that Health Secretary Jeane Freeman has agreed to a public inquiry into the SNP’s hospital scandals following pressure from Scottish Labour, Scottish Labour’s health spokesperson, Monica Lennon MSP, said:
“A public inquiry is the only way to get to the bottom of this outrageous series of errors which has seriously disrupted patient care and cost taxpayers millions of pounds.
“It should not have taken weeks of pressure from Scottish Labour, patients and families for this to have been agreed to by the Health Secretary.
“Children in Scotland are being let down because the hospitals they were promised are not fit for purpose.
“We have two hospitals built by the same contractor that are mired in controversy, and all the while patients are suffering.
“The public need to know the truth of what has went so badly wrong at these two vital hospitals.”
