Commenting on the embargoed PA press release about the NHS clinical waste scandal, Scottish Labour Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport Monica Lennon said:
“Scottish Labour has repeatedly called for greater scrutiny of the clinical waste scandal and its financial cost to our NHS, which continues to grow by the day.
“The Health Secretary has serious questions to answer over why – months after Healthcare Environmental Services ceased trading – we still do not have clear solutions or answers on what is happening with Scotland’s clinical waste.
“There must be an inquiry into what has gone wrong, and for proper scrutiny to take place over the SNP’s decision to award a £100 million of public funds to another private firm without considering Scottish Labour’s call to bring the service back into the NHS.”
