Theresa May has said MPs have "one last chance" to deliver Brexit, urging them to back what she called a "new deal".

MPs will get a vote on whether to hold another referendum if they back the EU Withdrawal Agreement Bill, she said.

The bill also contains new guarantees on workers' rights, environmental protections and the Northern Irish border, as well a customs "compromise".

Labour said it was a "rehash" of existing plans and Tory Brexiteers took to social media to vent their anger.

SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon has said her party has been the most consistent anti-Brexit voice during the European election campaign.

Ms Sturgeon told the Andrew Marr show on BBC One that putting the Brexit issue back to people in a second vote would be the right way forward.

Labour's Scottish deputy leader Lesley Laird said a new vote on Brexit was becoming more likely.

Conservative MP Colin Clark said next month's Brexit bill will be "different" from what has gone before.

Liberal Democrat leader Vince Cable said his party could support it, if the public were given the final say.

UK voters take part in elections to the European parliament on Thursday.

Ms Davidson says the first minister is trying to lay her hand on anything she can to push for another referendum.

This is about demanding more referendums until people are browbeaten into giving the response the FM wants, suggests the Scottish Tory leader.

The first minister only believes in democracy when it goes her way, she argues.

"The difference between Ruth Davidson and I is: I've got principles," replies the first minister.

It is just a pity that flip-flopping is not an Olympic sport because Ruth Davidson would be a gold medal winner, she insists.

Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson says in 2013 the first minister signed the Edinburgh Agreement that made clear everyone would respect the result of the independence referendum.

Ms Davidson asks if the first minister will accept any re-run as she did not last time.

Ms Sturgeon replies Scotland was told they had to vote against independence to remain in the EU.

The first minister insists: "Scotland is not for Brexit, Scotland is for Europe."

Lib Dem MSP Alex Cole-Hamilton quotes a tweet from Gillian Murray, the niece of David Ramsay who took his own life after being failed by the Carseview unit in Dundee.

He tells the chamber Ms Murray tweeted this morning "I have been and am going through hell and none of this benefits me or my family. David is still dead."

The Lib Dem MSP asks what support will be given to families of loved ones who have taken their own lives.

The mental health minister says her sympathies and thoughts go to any family who have lost a loved one through suicide.

Today must be a difficult day for them she imagines as the report will stir up more emotion.

Ms Haughey says there are services in Dundee currently for bereaved families but the leadership group will look at this support.

Green MSP Mark Ruskell says the report revealed GP referrals to mental health services were frequently rejected for not meeting certain criteria.

He calls for clearer referral guidelines.

Ms Haughey points the member to NHS Tayside's acceptance of the report and adds guidelines will be made clear to referrers.

Labour MSP Jenny Marra says there are no actions announced today that will ensure patient safety.

Ms Marra reiterates the call to re-escalate NHS Tayside to level 5 so the board gets the support it needs to guarantee patient safety.

Ms Haughey replies she has asked the board to report back on the risks around the redesign of services.

NHS Tayside have been reacting to the recommendations from the HIS report and some of the recommendations that emerged after the BBC programme, she adds.

The mental health minister adds improvements have been made and additional support will be provided.

Tory MSP Miles Briggs points to reports that when patients said they were suicidal, staff did not take them seriously.

I do not believe that this is a situation specific to Tayside, he adds.

"I'm quite disturbed by the assertion he is making," says Clare Haughey.

People being ignored by healthcare professionals is not my experience of working in the NHS, she argues.

Every interaction involved risk assessment even if not a formal screening, she insists.

Labour MSP Monica Lennon welcomes the report and says her thoughts are with all the patients and families affected.

Ms Lennon asks for a timeline for the publication of the final recommendations from David Strang.

The Labour MSP asks if NHS Tayside will be escalated back to the highest level of special measures and calls for a national review of mental health services.

Ms Haughey reiterates: "The safety of those using and delivering mental health services is absolutely paramount."

Central to this is feedback from patients staff and families, she adds.

The inquiry is independent, Ms Haughey tells the chamber, and she adds she has no influence over the timing of the final report.

Tory MSP Annie Wells thanks David Strang, his team and participants of the inquiry.

We need a whole system approach to design and delivery of services, she says.

Ms Wells asks when the minister will report back on the meeting with the senior leadership and on any progress made.

Ms Haughey says long waits for treatment are unacceptable and points to investment to improve this.

The meeting with the leadership was to set out her plans in response to the report, she explains.

Regarding CAMHS, Ms Haughey says the health board is planning to change to age limit to 18, in line with other health boards.

Ms Haughey says the use of restraint will be looked at and work is underway in many areas of safety, which has led to a reduction in self-harm.

The mental health minister says: "We will build on this work."

The ethos will be rights based and alternatives to restraint must always be considered first, she adds.

The minister adds restraints should only be used as a last resort.

"I am absolutely clear that the safety of the patient and the quality of service they receive is absolutely paramount."

Ms Haughey concludes her statement and will now field questions.

The minister says any redesign of services must consider the needs of all service users, and those with lived experience must be to the forefront.

She says the learning from this inquiry will also inform the national approach to quality and safety of mental health services.

We need to bring coherence to arrangements for quality planning, improvement and assurance for mental health, she tells the chamber.

I will create and chair a quality and safety board for mental health for this purpose, Ms Haughey confirms.

Ms Haughey says the report highlighted "significant concerns", but David Strang has yet to make recommendations, though the Scottish government will not wait to act.

The mental health minister says she met with the chief executive and chair of NHS Tayside yesterday.

She adds she called for the pace of change to be faster and for the quality of services to improve, which the board agreed to.

Ms Haughey says she has asked the local leadership team to urgently review the risk and impact of the redesign programme.

Ms Haughey highlights the report only identifies issues raised from evidence given to the inquiry.

This was a significant piece of community research which produced a range of recommendations, the mental health minister says.

She says the interim report found six key themes:

1. patients' access to mental health services
2. patients' sense of safety
3. quality of care
4. organisational learning
5. leadership
6. governance

Mental Health Minister Clare Haughey says the independent inquiry into mental health services in NHS Tayside has released its interim report this morning.

It is an important milestone in the work of the inquiry, which is being guided by five principles agreed by MSPs:

• to be open and transparent
• to be truly independent
• to include staff of NHS Tayside and the third sector
• to include patients. family and carers
• to have public engagement so all voices heard
