Brass Neck – BBC Scotland returns to the scene of their criminal lies about NHS Tayside’s cancer care which will have harmed many there

that will no longer exist under these new Government structural reforms but they do have to do something pretty transformational with the NHS because there have long been warnings that it is financially unsustainable.

Scotland rejected failing NHS England cancer diagnosis system revealed to be causing patient harm

From the Guardian today, the above and: Cancer diagnoses have been missed or delayed because of a system designed for GPs to seek specialist advice before referring patients to hospital, according to an investigation. The Health Services Safety Investigations Body (HSSIB) identified patient risks linked to how advice and guidance (A+G) services have been implemented across England. A+G was brought in to slash unnecessary hospital visits and reduce waiting times, allowing family doctors to seek specialist input before making referrals. However, the investigation found evidence that A+G had “contributed to near misses and incidents of patient harm, both physical and psychological” … Continue reading Scotland rejected failing NHS England cancer diagnosis system revealed to be causing patient harm

The real Glasgow hospital scandal – In the WHOLE world only one government has ever deliberately built a new hospital next to a raw sewage works

In previous reports on the inquiry hearing expert witnesses, we’ve revealed that of 7 recent new large city hospitals across the UK, including in Manchester, only Glasgow City Council, in 2008, opted to build right next to a large raw sewage plant. In the years that followed after the SNP took power in 2017, Anas Sarwar groomed the traumatised parents of cancer victims, where autopsies had revealed the presence of a fungus found in pigeon droppings, and blamed the SNP for a failure to build-in proper protections in the hospital systems. We, at Taking-up Scotland, did not know until recently, … Continue reading The real Glasgow hospital scandal – In the WHOLE world only one government has ever deliberately built a new hospital next to a raw sewage works

As giant, clearly not troubled, Glasgow hospital is shown to be as safe as all the others how Scotland has no postcode lottery unlike in other parts

From Hospital Standardised Mortality Ratios April 2025 to March 2026, the above graph and this explanation: Assessing patient safety and the quality of care delivered in hospitals is essential. The Hospital Standardised Mortality Ratio (HSMR) is a key indicator that measures hospital mortality. It compares the observed number of patient deaths associated with a hospital to the number predicted after adjusting for the case mix of patients. This adjustment accounts for factors such as age, underlying health conditions, and severity of illness, enabling hospitals to be compared fairly against the Scottish average. No hospitals had a significantly higher standardised mortality … Continue reading As giant, clearly not troubled, Glasgow hospital is shown to be as safe as all the others how Scotland has no postcode lottery unlike in other parts

Is this the first credible case of spiking by needle injection?

Headlining BBC Scotland today, the above and: At the hospital, blood tests revealed she had been injected with gamma-hydroxybutyrate, better known as GHB, as well as an anti-depressant drug. GHB is a powerful sedative that causes extreme sleepiness and loss of inhibitions – and it erases the memory of what has happened under its influence. It is notorious as a date rape drug. Whilst the GHB would eventually work its way out of her system, doctors were worried about the potential for blood infections from the needle. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cyv0zjg2623o The blood test is key and may suggest a shocking development because … Continue reading Is this the first credible case of spiking by needle injection?

Shocking latest US research finds 80 000 unnecessary breast and other cancers near nuclear power stations to further condemn Scottish Labour’s energy strategy

From A national analysis of the impact of proximity to nuclear power plants on lung, breast and colon cancer mortalities in the U.S., 2000–2020 in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology [5.5 impact factor- which is good to strong for a science journal] published yesterday: Results Proximity to nuclear power plants was associated with elevated mortality from breast, colon, and lung cancers. From 2000 to 2020, an estimated 39,767 female deaths (95% CI: 9312–69,381), representing 2.01% (95% CI: 0.47–3.50%), and 38,124 male deaths (95% CI: 16,106–59,600), representing 2.33% (95% CI: 0.98–3.64%), were attributable to this proximity. Lung cancer … Continue reading Shocking latest US research finds 80 000 unnecessary breast and other cancers near nuclear power stations to further condemn Scottish Labour’s energy strategy

‘I cannot see 408 as just a statistic’ – Thyroid cancer deaths, after Fukushima, across the World and in the Clyde

From UCA News two days ago on Fukushima: 15 years after Fukushima, debate continues on radiation exposure – Large amounts of radioactive material were released when the magnitude 9.0 earthquake on March 11 that year triggered a tsunami, causing meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant operated by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). The catastrophe killed more than 18,000 people and forced mass evacuations. It also raised fears about long-term health effects, especially among children. In response, Fukushima Prefecture launched what health professionals describe as one of the largest health surveys of its kind, covering about 380,000 residents who … Continue reading ‘I cannot see 408 as just a statistic’ – Thyroid cancer deaths, after Fukushima, across the World and in the Clyde

‘115,000 cancer deaths [especially among older adults] in 8 years: What a new [US] study suggests about nuclear power plants’

I’ve reported on this major US study, several times before but it remains at the centre of US debate as it’s findings spread across the vastness of the US when plans for new or recommissioned nuclear plants enter local media. UK media have, to my knowledge, never acknowledged this gold standard research, fearful of its potential impact on the current Labour government’s plans. From the New Hampshire Union Leader, yesterday: Older adults who live in U.S. counties that are closer to operating nuclear power plants may have a greater risk of dying from cancer, according to a new study led … Continue reading ‘115,000 cancer deaths [especially among older adults] in 8 years: What a new [US] study suggests about nuclear power plants’

As even BBC Scotland report that cancer deaths ‘fall to lowest rate on record’, only 4 out of 26 types were worsened by pandemic factors but Daily Express and opposition try to politicise and to mislead you

BBC Scotland on 27th January 2026, telling a different story from that in the Express, two months later The Daily Express today platforming the opposition parties to blame the Scottish Government for falling cancer survival rates, in some cancers, conceals the over-arching truth in the Public Health Scotland report1 that there were clear improvements in other (often more common) cancers. These results should be seen within the context of a longer falling trend to record-low overall cancer mortality risk in Scotland. The risk of dying from cancer fell by 12.1% over the past decade (compared with 2015), reaching 288.9 per … Continue reading As even BBC Scotland report that cancer deaths ‘fall to lowest rate on record’, only 4 out of 26 types were worsened by pandemic factors but Daily Express and opposition try to politicise and to mislead you
