Scottish Conservative MSP Miles Briggs said: “This is a damning verdict from Scotland’s psychiatrists on the SNP’s mental health system. “It’s also important to be clear we already work closely with Health Improvement Scotland, the Mental Welfare Commission and others to regularly assure the quality of mental health services across Scotland.”
