Labour stages Holyrood vote urging disclosure of hospital communications
NHS Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow

SCOTTISH Labour was set to hold a parliamentary vote today to press the Scottish government to authorise immediate full disclosure on the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital scandal.

The party was lodging a motion calling on ministers to publish and preserve all records connected to contaminated water, the ventilation system, and what it says was the “premature opening” of the hospital, and subsequent communications relating to the handling of infection.

The Scottish Hospitals Inquiry, which heard closing submissions last week, examined the design and construction of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and the Royal Hospital for Children, which are on the same campus in Glasgow.

It was launched in the wake of deaths linked to infections, including that of 10-year-old Milly Main in 2017.

Labour leader Anas Sarwar said: “What happened at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital is the single biggest scandal in the history of devolution.”
