Scotland's health secretary Neil Gray repeatedly asked if Queen Elizabeth University Hospital is 'safe'
Scottish Labour demands inquiry reopening to question former ministers over QEUH's early opening and environment issues, following health board admissions.
- Speaking on Tuesday to mark 100 days until the election, Anas Sarwar urged Lord Brodie to reopen the inquiry and question Nicola Sturgeon, John Swinney and Shona Robison.
- NHSGGC's closing submissions noted it 'opened too early' under 'pressure' and linked infections, including the death of 10-year-old Milly Main, to the hospital environment.
- Sarwar's motion demands full disclosure and preservation of Scottish Government records on contaminated water, ventilation and the 'premature opening', while ministers say the Inquiries Act prevents Parliament instructing the Scottish Hospitals Inquiry chair.
- The motion will be voted on late on Wednesday and looks set to pass with Scottish Green co-leader Gillian Mackay indicating support after the Scottish Hospitals Inquiry heard closing submissions last week.
- Sarwar said the QEUH failures were 'criminal incompetence' and told ministers 'we are not going away', as families and whistleblowers demanded bosses 'face a reckoning' and praised Kimberly Darroch.
