HEALTH bosses were today accused of "suppressing and distorting" evidence against the closure of the Queen Mother's Hospital.
MSP Carolyn Leckie has lodged a motion in the Scottish Parliament calling on Greater Glasgow NHS Board to come clean on key advice from clinicians and interest groups on the reasons for keeping the maternity hospital open.
The former Glasgow midwife said the board must now publish all expert submissions it received as part of a much-criticised pre-consultation process on the proposed closure.
She said: "If health boards are confident of their arguments they should produce all the evidence and research.
"Unfortunately, it would appear Greater Glasgow NHS Board suppressed and distorted submissions by eminent clinicians in relation to the Queen Mother's consultation."
