CALLOUS AND DESPICABLE ‘CARERS’ IN COURT
Sheriff Valerie Mays said: “I think it goes without saying that this is an awful offence and the behaviour towards a vulnerable man is nothing short of despicable.
“It must have been obvious to you after a certain amount of time that he needed assistance and you left that man in the bath.
“It must have been a very frightening experience for him and your behaviour was callous.”
SPECIAL MEASURES MOVE FOLLOWS TWO HOSPITAL DEATHS
West Dunbartonshire, Argyll and Glasgow’s health board has been placed in “special measures” following the deaths of two children at the city’s largest hospital. Health Secretary Jeane Freeman said NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde would be escalated to stage four of the NHS Board Performance Escalation Framework. This means an oversight board will be put in place, chaired by chief nursing officer Prof Fiona McQueen. Ms Freeman said there were issues over infection prevention and control. Critics are now likely to step up pressure on the SNP government to impose a similar regime at West Dunbartonshire Council which is widely viewed as a basket case public authority which has been blighted by scandal and policy U-turns over the past two years.
