Scottish Rugby respond to Siobhan Cattigan legal proceedings |
Scottish Rugby says a written offer of support "remains open" as the family of Scotland international Siobhan Cattigan, who died last year, launch legal action against the sport's governing bodies. Cattigan died in November aged 26. Her parents, Neil and Morven, have said that brain injuries sustained through the sport caused deterioration in their daughter’s mental health, which ultimately led to her death. They have now launched legal proceedings against Scottish Rugby and World Rugby, after they said that protocols on injuries and after care were not properly implemented. Scottish Rugby that in respecting medical confidentiality and with reference to the legal claim they were not in a position to communicate further on the details of the player's care. |
