Especially at a big moment like starting school, I want every child in Scotland to have the best start in life.   Building on the success of the Baby Box, we will introduce a Welcome to School Bag - supporting families and children with stationery, books and other helpful items.

GP struck off for asking Muslim woman to remove veil so he could hear her properly during consultation. Dr Keith Wolverson, a locum GP at urgent care centres in Derby and Stoke, asked Mrs Q three times to take off her niqab while she described her daughter’s symptoms. He told her he couldn’t hear her due to “poor English” and needed to see her mouth movements. She refused for religious reasons but eventually complied; she later complained she felt “victimised and racially discriminated against.” Wolverson was already facing 17 other misconduct charges (including criticising patients’ English skills in notes). He was suspended in 2022 but kept working anyway and failed to attend the final tribunal hearing. The panel ruled he showed “flagrant disregard” for the process, had no insight, and posed an ongoing risk to patients. Another doctor erased for putting basic medical need above political correctness.
