MSP urges elderly services review after Isabella tragedy
Isabella Purves was found in her flat in Rodney Street, Canonmills, on 2 July last year. Police officers were forced to break down her front door and push their way through years of unopened mail.
Now Tory MSP Nanette Milne has written to health secretary Nicola Sturgeon calling for a national review of services to support elderly folk living alone.
She said: "The case of Isabella Purves raised questions as to what help our society provides to support elderly residents living alone."
