The figures have prompted calls for the Government to provide an explanation.
SNP Ministers have been urged to investigate an increase in patients dying in “adverse events” across Scotland. Jackie Baillie , Scottish Labour ’s health spokesperson, said: “Each of these figures represents a family with questions over how their loved one has died.
“The SNP must act quickly to establish the facts behind this deeply worrying trend and ensure patients are safe while staff get the support they need.” It comes after Scotland's doctors' union warned that staffing levels are "dangerously low" across the NHS.
