But Scottish Conservative Central Scotland MSP Meghan Gallacher accused the Scottish Government of having known about issues at the facility “for years”, citing emails sent by a constituent to ministers in 2023.
“When issues are raised regarding a medical setting such as Skye House, the Scottish Government would normally direct correspondence to their health boards because patient care and delivery are the statutory responsibility of local healthcare providers.”.
“On August 12 2024, (they) contacted the First Minister, Health Secretary Neil Gray and the minister for children and young people Natalie Don-Innes.
Ms Gallacher said: “The Scottish Government, they didn’t find out about this through the BBC documentary, they’ve known for years.
“Scottish ministers, she’ll understand, receive a huge amount of correspondence daily,” Ms Todd told Ms Gallacher.
