Question

To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the outcome of the investigation into the circumstances relating to the delay in an ambulance reaching Richard Brown, in Glasgow, in November 2021.


Answer

It is not appropriate for the Scottish Government or Ministers to comment on or intervene directly in individual cases relating to patient care.

We are aware that, following the tragic incident involving Mr Brown, the Scottish Ambulance Service has launched a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident. The Service has been in regular contact with Mr Brown’s family and have confirmed that they will meet with the family again to discuss their full findings once their investigation is concluded in mid-March 2022.
