Scotland's health secretary announces probe into safety issues at two Scottish hospitals after pressure from Labour and Unison
A public inquiry will investigate deaths linked to pigeon droppings at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow
SCOTLAND’S Health Secretary Jeane Freeman has finally caved in to pressure from Labour and Unison and announced that a public inquiry will investigate safety issues at two Scottish hospitals.
It will examine deaths linked to pigeon droppings at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) in Glasgow and delays to the Royal Hospital for Children & Young People (RHCYP) in Edinburgh.
A child and another patient died at the QEUH in Glasgow, which opened in 2015, after picking up an infection related to pigeon excrement and there have been several patients affected since then.
