Jackie Baillie, MSP for Dumbarton, Helensburgh and Vale of Leven,, said: “Time and time again, I have asked Nicola Sturgeon and her health secretary to show some leadership and act to save the Out of Hours service at the Vale – and time and time again, the health board, of which they are in charge, have done nothing.
“It is the local, regional and national media – newspapers, broadcasters and online publishers – that the public rely on to tell them what is happening in courts up and down the country. All of us should be concerned at the decline in court reporting in recent years and the potential impact this has on the public’s understanding of – and confidence in – our justice system.”
