The Scottish Sun At a debate this week into neonatal services at University Hospital Wishaw Tory Sandesh Gulhane called SNP Minister for Public Health and Women's Health, Jenny Minto, 'cold' and 'with no empathy'.
Mr Gulhane said: 'What a cold, managerial speech with no empathy for families that was from the minister.
I draw members’ attention to my entry in the register of members’ interests—I am a practising NHS general practitioner. We are disillusioned with the Scottish Government’s stewardship of our NHS and the indifference shown by successive SNP health secretaries to many well-documented calls by local communities to support critical services.
Here we are yet again: 12,000 people support Lynne McRitchie’s petition to reconsider downgrading University hospital Wishaw’s award-winning neonatal services. The Scottish Government remains unconcerned. I ask the cabinet secretary to look the families in the gallery in the eye and tell them the truth. He does not care about their opinion.'
In an emotional debate Labour, the Lib Dems and Scottish Conservatives all agreed in condemning the SNP's decision.
Ms Minto saying the proposal is a result of recommendations from expert clinicians.
