The LVP published excerpts of a private report which looked into why the procedure was suspended last year.
David Anderson says the parts published contained no professional context or perspective and is another part of a ‘misleading and alarming’ campaign against the hospital.
He’s adamant the party is only serving to undermine the medical profession:
