Perthshire Family in NHS complaint get backing

A family from Perthshire have the backing of Holyrood and Westminster in their bid for answers from the NHS. The MacGillvary Family are angry with the way their father John was treated at Perth Royal Infirmary after he suffered a stroke. They were told the 78 year old would have just hours to live but after asking for his medication to be taken away he improved. Now they've got the help of MP Gordon Banks and MSP Dr Richard Simpson to get answers from the NHS.

Increase in fines for seatbelt offences

Police in Perth are advising drivers that penalties for seat belt and number plate offences will increase from today. Fines have doubled to 60 pounds. Tayside Police fined almost fifteen hundred drivers and passengers for seat belt offences last year.

Perth family deported after fathers death

A Perth family who were forced to leave Scotland after the death of their husband and father have received the backing of local MP Pete Wishart. Mr Wishart's previously campaigned over the new home office immigrations points system, and secured a place in Perth for Dr Swarthik Salins. Now he's fighting for the Singh family, who've been forced to return to India. Mrs Nidhi Singh and her two daughters were asked to leave Perth when her husband died earlier this year.
