 However the investigators reported that they could not make the inquiry results available to Doherty's family.Six years later, during the inquiry, the family were given the outcome of the investigation but not the evidence, with the explanation that the Mental Health (Scotland) Act of 1984 did not allow the Commission to share the information publicly.When the law changed to allow sharing of the report with the complainant as well as with official bodies, Doherty's family were finally allowed this information.
