SNP Health Secretary reports local nursery to watchdog citing racial discrimination

A DUNDEE nursery which denied a place to the daughter of the SNP’s Health Secretary has prompted a complaint to a watchdog over accusations of discrimination.

Humza Yousaf said that he and his wife have contacted the Care Inspectorate and are also seeking legal advice after claiming that the Little Scholars Nursery in Broughty Ferry had said that there was no place available for his two-year-old daughter Amal.

The Daily Record reported that Yousaf’s wife Nadia El-Nakla had emailed nursery bosses in May asking if there were any available places, but were turned down for a second time.
