THE Scottish Hospitals Inquiry is in “disarray,” after losing its third lawyer in just three weeks, according to Scottish Labour.

Samantha Rore, who has left to join the Covid-19 inquiry, is the latest solicitor to resign, less than a month after the departures of Alastair Duncan KC and Victoria Arnott.

The inquiry was ordered by the then Health secretary, SNP’s Jeanne Freeman, after a series of scandals hit the new-build Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Campus (QEUHC), and the Department of Clinical Neurosciences in Edinburgh.
