Nicola Sturgeon steps in to sort operation for boy in constant pain as last FM act

Nicola Sturgeon made her final act as First Minister a promise to ensure brave little Harvey Martin has the spine op that will change his life.

She stepped in to sort out a wee boy’s operation after a heartbreaking video plea. Harvey Martin, nine, recorded the video message to Sturgeon earlier this week begging her to sort out the NHS so he could get an op to end his pain because he “can’t take it any more”.
