Charlie Bethune, whose daughter’s health has been affected from her exposure to sodium valproate, has been campaigning for the recommendations of the Cumberledge report to be implemented in Scotland since they were accepted in full by the Scottish government in 2020.
He said: “It is incredibly frustrating that after all the work we, and other campaign groups, put in to get the Patient Safety Commissioner Bill through, that the parliament has taken so long and been so unsuccessful in filling the post.

“A strong independent voice is essential.”
