Scottish government urged to listen to families affected by tragedies at scandal-hit Glasgow ‘super hospital’

PRESSURE continued to pile on the Scottish government today over a scandal-hit Glasgow “super hospital,” with Labour’s Anas Sarwar calling on ministers to listen to families affected by tragedies at the site. 

During First Minister’s Questions at Holyrood today, the Scottish Labour leader challenged Nicola Sturgeon again over the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Govan, which has seen a number of patients die after contracting infections on site. 

An inquiry is under way, but Mr Sarwar told the SNP leader that these tragedies were not being recorded correctly, with an oversight board not meeting for nine months.
