Humza Yousaf has said he was "disturbed" by reports that bosses at Scotland's largest health board admitted paying private investigators to spy on the relatives of dead patients.
Widow Louise Slorance, whose late husband Andrew contracted an infection while being treated at the hospital for cancer, discovered both their names on the list of those being monitored. "My understanding is, as you would expect, there is a level of media monitoring that does take place by a board, particularly one the size of Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
"I understand they are reviewing their media monitoring and communication processes. But they should absolutely have patients at the heart of it." A whistleblower claimed Bustillo made the remark on more than one occasion after Professor John Cuddihy spoke publicly about his daughter Molly’s case."Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board have paid a private company to spy on Louise Slorance, a grieving widow who lost her husband in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital infections scandal," he said.
