You don't have to be paying that much attention to know that health is a major issue for Scottish voters. Karen Titchener, the country's first Patient Safety Commissioner, has a major role to play. She says politicians shouldn't be sitting too comfortably holyrood.com/inside-politic…

With all these stories about Reform candidates in bother, it's worth remembering what the party told its prospective politicians - to stay “under the radar” because the “biggest threat” to Reform’s standing “is Reform itself” holyrood.com/news/view,how-…

There's lots of discussion about the rush to legislate in the final days before the Scottish election. It's been a bone of contention for many MSPs for some time now, as they told me for this feature holyrood.com/inside-politic…

"The first lot we got, we were horrified. Then we were equally horrified by the rest." When @WRNScotland pulled together data on sex attacks in hospitals, there was an expectation of urgent action. One year on, they're not sure it's happening. holyrood.com/inside-politic…

“You look at the state of the political class at the moment and you hear some of the stuff that goes on - it’s hard not to be cynical and it’s hard not to feel disenfranchised.” Eddie Dempsey of @RMTunion speaks to @kapaterson holyrood.com/inside-politic…

It was a pleasure to talk to @kapaterson about @WRNScotland Hospital report That said despite the report raising many questions about women's & patient safety there has been very little change. In a week where it was reported sexual crimes have risen it is all the more shocking

holyrood.com/inside-politic… One year on from our How Safe Are Our Scottish Hospitals? Report Are Patients and Staff any safer? We don't really know Is that good enough? No What a shocking indictment of how little our @scotgov @NHSScotland Health Boards cares about the safety of women, patients & staff Excellent article by ✍️ @kapaterson
