NHS Tayside cancer scandal special

Episode notes

In this special edition of The Stooshie, we discuss the headlines from our exclusive NHS Tayside breast cancer investigation.

Our separate feature-length video documentary on the scandal, published on The Courier website, explores the lack of evidence around government claims women were put at increased risk of their cancer returning. We hear from patients and senior health professionals.

And we reveal how officials missed repeated warnings that botched reports risked collapsing a once highly-respected breast cancer department.

On The Stooshie, Andy Philip chats to Courier political editor Derek Healey to get the inside story, the growing calls for an inquiry and what it means for the SNP Government.
