NICOLA STURGEON rejected calls to sack her health secretary today, despite an NHS crisis happening “under her nose.”
Shona Robinson is accused of ignoring repeated warnings from the auditor general about the financial problems faced by NHS Tayside, which covers her constituency.
The board faces charges of financial mismanagement, including raiding charity endowment funds to pay for an IT system. It could now have to cut £200 million from its healthcare budgets.
