The health board is paying £15,000 a year to a private firm who were monitoring Louise and her husband Andrew after he'd died 😳
A widow has hit out at NHS Glasgow after they were caught spying on patients, including herself after her husband died. Glasgow's NHS health board is paying £15,000 a year to a private firm linked to the disgraced Cambridge Analytica company.
She said: “It’s obscene that they’re spending £15,000 a year on this. That money should be spent on improving patient care or staff pay and conditions but this way it will have absolutely no impact.”Since we revealed the scandal last month, NHSGGC has stopped monitoring Louise and admitted it was an “error of judgement”.
Louise said the cost of the private spying programme was “unjustifiable” and also criticised NHSGGC’s handling of the fiasco. The health board sent an apology to her at 9.30pm on Thursday – more than 10 days after the Record first reported the story and 283 days after they started spying on her. She said: “Humza Yousaf needs to show the leadership expected of Scotland’s First Minister and take a grip of the QEUH scandal. I will be calling on him to immediately escalate GGC to level five, replace the board and guarantee families receive the answers they deserve without delay.”
He said: “The blatant disregard that the SNP show towards the families involved in this scandal is shocking. Not only have those involved in spying and cover-up kept their jobs, they have received massive rewards at a time when ordinary NHS workers are struggling to get by every month. A NHSGGC spokesman continued to deny they had used private investigators to spy on patients and their relatives and said the Meltwater software was used by many organisations. He claimed Andrew Slorance was not included on their social listening logs, despite emails seen by the Sunday Mail confirming content around his name was on their spying list.
