IN THE
INQUIRY INTO THE DEATH OF DAVID McCLENAGHAN
Court ref: AIR-B311-24
1.
The determination of the sheriff in this inquiry was issued on 5 January 2026.
The sheriff made the following recommendation:
(1)
That the Scottish Ambulance Service investigate whether a telephony technology solution could be introduced that would assist emergency call handling staff in distinguishing between a silent call and a disconnected call. If such a solution can be identified, it is recommended that it is implemented as soon as possible.
2.
The SCTS has not received a response from the Scottish Ambulance Service within the time limit prescribed in the Act (being the period of 8 weeks beginning with the day on which the respondent received a copy of the determination in which the recommendation was made).
The SCTS search index reports 1 response, but supplies no public response page URL that this system can verify. This is an unresolved source-linkage gap, not evidence that no response was made.
