Meeting of the Parliament 25 March 2026 [Draft]
I do not think that we can—and nor should we—seek to draw a correlation between NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde officials and the SNP. I do not know the politics of the leadership of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, and we should be careful to draw a distinction in that regard.
However, on both the issues that Dr Gulhane has raised, the Government has taken action to get answers for families. In the case of the public inquiry into the Queen Elizabeth university hospital, which is due to report, I wish Lord Brodie the space and time to be able to come forward with his independent conclusions. On Skye House, the Minister for Social Care and Mental Wellbeing gave a statement to Parliament just days ago setting out the Government’s actions and how we are seeking to respond, working with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, to ensure that improvements are made.
