First Minister Humza Yousaf has said he is "very disappointed" in an NHS watchdog's handling of public safety concerns at a hospital in Glasgow.
However, complaints in January this year were upheld that the doctors were not given the opportunity to discuss or present their evidence. "That's why this Government brought forward, of course, the independent national whistleblowing office. It's why we have whistleblowing champions in health boards right across the country."
"What we really need to see now is not just an apology but some actual action that is going to help these consultants, help the whole department and help patient safety."
