SCOTLAND’S Health Secretary doesn’t hold the easiest of briefs. The previous one, Shona Robison, eventually ceded to calls for her resignation amid a series of NHS scandals and missed targets — the most serious of which covered her own constituency.
Her successor Jeane Freeman was called a “liar” by Labour’s Neil Findlay over the mesh cancer treatment scandal.
After being thrown out of Holyrood’s debating chamber, Findlay charged: “Either she lied about instructing her officials to investigate reintroducing mesh implants or is so incompetent she does not have a clue what is going on inside her own department.”
