"you have my commitment to act, in order to ensure that The Situation does not happen to parents in The Future .
"I don't regret that in honor of the doctor-patient confidentiality. But the preservation of medical confidentiality does not mean that I have to act on The Information that is given to me. "
Mr Sarwar had raised the question, which was brought to light by NHS whistleblower during First Minister's questions on Thursday.
The whistleblower's concerns about the results of a review of infections in children-cancer-patients.
The MSP said he had seen information that showed that managers were repeatedly alerted to count the fact of a previous review failed cases of infections beaten in connection with the water supply in the year 2017. He said the parents of The Child had never said was that the true cause of your child's death.
the Greater Glasgow Health Board", say a connection between the infection and The Hospital can not be detected, because the rules at the time, it was not necessary, test the waters.
Mr Sarwar said: "This is a remarkable statement from the health Secretary.
"There are very serious questions for the government and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde to answer, and a huge challenge to rebuild the confidence. "
Labour MSP Anas Sarwar described the allegations as a 'scandal'He added: "This is a devastating death has been covered up since September. Jeane Freeman says, you traded, but The Most important would be the act, inform the parents.
"In the centre of this scandal is a tragic loss of life, and the priority must be on finding answers for the parents who lost a child. "
Last September, two municipalities at The Royal hospital for children were closed and patients were moved to the adjacent Queen Elizabeth University Hospital , studied as a Health Protection Scotland (HPS) water pollution incidents.
A found 23 cases of blood stream infections with organisms that have been potentially identified with the water-contamination between 29. January and 26. September 2018.
a doctor was reported-led team at NHSGGC investigated further back than 2018.
The whistleblower, contacted Mr Sarwar claimed, this study found 26 cases of water supply-infections in children in the cancer wards in the year 2017, and that a child died with cancer after Contracting the disease.
not to be cleaned In March, some areas of The Hospital properly, because they were expected to repair.
The audit was feces ordered by Mrs. Freeman, with a fungus linked to pigeon.
'Extremely disappointing'Mr Sarwar said he has a difficult information with him before, but in this case, "felt different".
He added: "I immediately thought of how I would feel if that was my child, if I was the parents. I would want to know, I would expect answers. "
A NHSGGC spokesman said: "When a patient dies in our care, our clinical teams to discuss with your family about The Cause of death and the factors that have contributed to this, where they are known.
"patients are very sick, prone to infections, and we are pursuing to ensure that all infections are to be taken care of the patients adequately. "
He said that two separate cases of Stenotrophomonas were examined in the year 2017, which were not linked, and were reported to Health Protection Scotland and the NHSGGC Board.
The cases were examined again In July 2019, if the clinical view has been taken that no further action is required.
He added: "In the time of the first investigations in these cases, the national guidelines are not included to test a requirement for health boards, Stenotrophomonas in the water supply.
"no tests, at the time, it is possible to be connected to the conclusion that these infections were to the water supply. It is extremely disappointing, therefore, that a whistleblower has this requirement to additional distress of the families and to other families of cancer patients. "
