SCOTLAND’S Health Secretary Jeane Freeman faced calls to resign today after she admitted knowing that the death of a child cancer patient in 2017 may have been caused by contaminated water.

Mr Sarwar said the child’s parents had not been informed that an infection outbreak in the cancer ward at the Royal Hospital for Children (RHC) was possibly linked to bacteria in the water supply.
