Robison grilled over NHS Tayside scandal
Conrad Landin is at Holyrood
Scottish Health Secretary Shona Robison

SCOTTISH ministers were accused of being “disingenuous” today, as embattled Health Secretary Shona Robison received a grilling over the NHS Tayside spending scandal.
 

Holyrood public audit committee convener Jenny Marra questioned the government’s insistence that it was not aware of NHS Tayside’s use of charitable donations to cover general running costs.

Ms Robison has insisted that the use of £3.6 million from the health board's endowment fund to help it break even in 2013-14 was not raised by auditors as a matter of concern.
