NHS Forth Valley chiefs have hit back at criticism over the publication of data into bullying cases at the health board over the last five years.
A Freedom of Information request from the Scottish Conservatives queried each of Scotland’s health boards on the number of recorded incidents of bullying from 2017-18 up to the latest data for 2021/22.
The 2021/22 figures have revealed that less than five cases were reported in Forth Valley - with a spokesperson later confirming the actual number was three - but have faced accusations of an “avoidance of scrutiny” over their failure to disclose data for the other four periods.
