Top doctor has ‘serious concerns’ about risks to patients at Glasgow hospitals

A spokesman for NHS GGC said: “These matters are to be explored in the ongoing inquiry and while NHS GGC continues to co-operate with the inquiry, it would be inappropriate to comment at this time.

“We would however like to provide absolute assurance to all of our patients, families and staff at the QEUH and RHC that our hospitals are safe.”

The spokesman added: “Across the campus, our highly-specialist teams treat and support some of the most vulnerable adults, young people and children in the country.

“Despite the sheer size of the campus and complexity of patients, figures consistently show mortality rates at the QEUH campus are in line with and at times lower than the Scottish average.

“A review of available data shows in terms of mandatory surveillance of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs), NHSGGC consistently performs better than many other boards across Scotland.

“We are committed to ongoing learning and continuous improvement.”

The inquiry before Lord Brodie continues.
