SNP Health Secretary Jeane Freeman remains under pressure over scandals at hospitals across Scotland as opposition MSPs call for action.

Ms Freeman faced questions from Holyrood’s health committee today on a range of issues, including the 2017 deaths of two children at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) that may have been linked to contaminated water.

She said a public inquiry into safety and wellbeing issues at QUEH and Edinburgh’s delayed and over-budget children’s hospital will include the issue of potential water contamination.
