Long waits for knee and hip replacements
Community charge
McLaughlin refused to pay her Community Charge, and was threatened with a warrant sale on her home.
Lord Provost
Lord Provost of Edinburgh, Scotland, between 1988 and 1992. She was only the third member of the Labour Party ever to hold the office. She was also the first female Lord Provost and the first Roman Catholic to hold the post since the Reformation.
Devolution and independence
McLaughlin was against devolution, feeling that without "proper tax raising powers" government could not work. She changed her mind, and said in 2014 that devolution had worked, and that the next step was independence.
