A member of the Alex Salmond harassment committee has called for someone to take responsibility for the affair that has plagued Scottish politics for more than a year.
Scottish Labour MSP Jackie Baillie said two women who lodged complaints against the Scottish Government were "failed by the Scottish Government".
The report, which was released earlier today, concluded there were "serious flaws" in the handling of complaints and that the First Minister "misled" parliament.
According to the report, the committee was told that Ms A and Ms B had received no support from the government since the conclusion of the process.
Scotland's top civil servant Leslie Evans was also heavily criticised throughout.
The committee report makes clear that the "multiple roles being fulfilled by the Permanent Secretary during the complaints process should have been seen as a risk".
Evans is accused by the committee report of "individual failing" over the government's response to Salmond's judicial review.
Baillie also hit out at the government for what she believes still doesn't have a "robust and functioning harassment complaints procedure" and that women continue to be let down.
Following the release of the report Baillie has called for heads to roll, she said: "This report makes for sober reading.
"Never in my 22 years in Parliament have I witnessed a report such as this, which details the catastrophic failings of the Scottish Government on a matter of the utmost seriousness and sensitivity.
"Despite the obstruction of the Scottish Government, the committee has managed to get beyond its veil of secrecy.
"We must never forget that at the heart of this matter are women who were failed by the Scottish Government. Three years on, nobody has yet taken responsibility for this failure.
"The thread that runs through the rushed development of the harassment policy and the flawed implementation of the handling of complaints is the Permanent Secretary. She was involved in every aspect of the procedure and must bear much of the responsibility.
"The Scottish Government still does not have a robust and functioning harassment complaints procedure and women continue to be let down. There is an urgent need for reform to ensure that the complaints procedure is fit for purpose and lawful.
"The Scottish Government’s determination to plough on defending a judicial review, when the prospects of success were minimal, was irresponsible and cost the public more than £500,000.
"We also believe the First Minister has misled the committee about whether she would intervene, following her meeting with Alex Salmond on April 2, an act which is tantamount to misleading the Parliament.
"The Hamilton report may have exonerated the First Minister of breaching the Ministerial Code, but the catastrophic and myriad failings this committee inquiry has revealed have called into question her judgement."
