Former SNP health secretary Michael Matheson faces scrutiny for attending constituency events while absent from parliament during a standards probe into his conduct.
Michael Matheson, former SNP health secretary, has faced scrutiny for attending constituency events but not parliament amid a standards probe into his conduct. Matheson has not been present in the Scottish Parliament since resigning six weeks ago, following an £11,000 data roaming bill scandal. His absence has been attributed to "sick leave" while MSPs consider a report into his iPad charges. The SNP was urged to clarify whether Matheson is off sick or not.
