ANAS SARWAR wrote to First Minister Nicola Sturgeon today calling for the senior management team at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) to be sacked over the ongoing scandal at a flagship hospital.

During First Minister’s Questions the day before, the Scottish Labour leader revealed that a further two deaths at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow may have been linked to infections.

Ms Sturgeon claimed that the board was at its highest level of escalation, but Mr Sarwar disputed this today, calling for Scottish ministers to exercise their powers over the health board and for senior management to be replaced.
