Jeane Freeman condemned the 'sickening' behaviour and also hit out at Downing Street's PPE procurement process during the early part of the pandemic.
Scotland's former Health Secretary has accused some Tories of trying to "make a buck" around PPE contracts during the coronavirus pandemic.
The former minister, who stood down as an MSP at the 2021 Scottish Parliament election, spoke about her experience as the coronavirus crisis unfolded. Freeman told the Herald: "I had two thoughts when Downing Street's PPE shenanigans became evident: thank f*** we didn't need to rely on them for PPE because we've got our own procurement systems in place, and they were good and they worked.
Freeman, who was health secretary from June 2018 until she left Holyrood and was appointed to an ambassador role at the University of Glasgow earlier this year, also spoke about First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's leadership during the pandemic.
