What it asks
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to instruct, with immediate effect, an independent public inquiry under the Inquiries Act 2005 into the outbreak of clostridium difficile at the Vale of Leven Hospital so that wider lessons for the whole NHS can be learned and that the inquiry involves, and publicly funds, all relevant individuals, groups and organisations affected by the outbreak to determine the inquiry’s terms of reference and identify the issues to be examined.
What the petitioner did first
The C.diff Justice Group has taken a range of actions to campaign for a full public inquiry into the C.diff outbreak at the Vale of Leven Hospital and other Scottish hospitals. The group has organised a press conference to raise awareness of the issue and worked with the media to highlight this to the Scottish public; co-operated with the Independent Review Team; maintained communication with the Procurator Fiscal and worked with MSPs, including Jackie Baillie MSP who represents the constituency in which the Vale of Leven Hospital is situated. In addition there have been two meetings with the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing, Nicola Sturgeon MSP, and the other political party spokespersons from the Liberals, Labour, Conservatives, the Greens and Margo MacDonald MSP.
