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.
“While is vital that we get the correct person appointed, having no one in post is a disgrace when there are so many issues currently that are still unresolved and so many situations where patient safety and care are not being addressed by this government.
“A strong independent voice is essential.”
