SNP forced to abandon opposition to suicide inquiry
SNP Health Secretary Shona Robison

SCOTTISH ministers were forced to abandon their opposition to a public inquiry into suicides in Dundee today.

SNP Health Secretary Shona Robison has faced calls to resign over the deaths of men in Dundee who were failed by NHS Tayside’s Carseview centre.

David Ramsay, who was 50, killed himself in 2016 after being twice turned away by the mental health unit. His case was raised by Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard at First Minister’s Questions last week.
