Sturgeon ‘ignores’ grieving family's pleas for mental health unit investigation

NICOLA STURGEON has been accused of ignoring a grieving family’s pleas for an investigation into a mental health unit linked to up to 30 avoidable deaths.

Gillian Murray said she had quit the SNP after her the death of her uncle David Ramsay was “swept under the carpet.”

At First Minister’s questions today, Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard raised the case of Mr Ramsay, who killed himself in October 2016 after being turned away by Carseview psychiatric unit in Dundee.
