Ms Darroch told BBC Scotland on Thursday night: “I’m shocked with the information that came out today. The fact that they’ve known since since 2015, it’s absolutely disgusting that nothing was done about it and no action was taken and the hospital was still opened. I believe Milly would still be here if action had been taken. I’ve no doubt in my mind that Milly would be sitting beside me, right now.

DISTILLERY WORKERS’ FAVOURITE BANK TO CLOSE
The branch was for many years the most popular place to bank money for the hundreds of local men and women employed in the now closed Hiram Walker distillery in Castle Street. It is straight across the road from the imposing, grey sandstone public house which was once the whisky company’s offices, which included the cashier’s department where Dumbarton man Dick Lynch was in charge. Earlier this week, the bank announced that 82 branches across the UK would close as part of a plan to make £100m of cost cuts by 2022. The Dumbarton branch will close in July next year. There is no announcement in relation to its autobank or whether that will also go when the branch closes.
