Matheson must go, say Labour, as investigation launched

Commenting as a Holyrood probe has been launched to investigate the expenses scandal relating to Michael Matheson, Scottish Labour deputy leader Jackie Baillie said: “Our NHS is on the brink of a deadly winter crisis but this Health Secretary is too busy fighting for his job.

“We cannot have the people of Scotland failed by a distracted Health Secretary who is more interested in protecting his ministerial salary than protecting our NHS.

“It is clear that Michael Matheson must go and allow a new Health Secretary to focus on the crisis in our NHS.”
