Government push back against demands for Milly's Law after death of 10-year-old girl at Glasgow hospital

Demands for more powers and rights for bereaved families in the wake of the Glasgow hospital infection scandal have been rebuffed by the Scottish Government.

Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar called for changes in the law to give families better access to legal advice and representation, and create an independent public advocate role to act on their behalf.

Arguing for Milly's Law - named after 10-year-old Milly Main, who had been in remission from leukaemia at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) but then died from an infection believed to have been caused by the hospital's water supply in 2017 - Mr Sarwar said families should never again "have to beg for truth to come to light".
