Victims of surgeon Sam Eljamel face two-year wait over charges

Speaking after the two-hour meeting, Ms Rose said: “The Lord Advocate was very open and honest, and did say it’s anticipated Operation Stringent would take another one-and-a-half to two years before any decision is made on criminality.

“What was welcoming to hear is that it’s not just Eljamel being investigated, but it’s also NHS Tayside.”

Ms Rose said she was “very happy” at how the meeting had gone, and that Ms Bain agreed to provide a timeline for the investigation, in an attempt to speed up the probe.

She added: “They are seeking to appoint more medical expert witnesses to assist with the medical records of the patients, and that was very welcoming to hear.”

It is believed Eljamel now works in Libya.

He was head of neurosurgery at Ninewells until December 2013, when he was suspended.

However a due diligence review into the health board found NHS Tayside placed him under indirect supervision in June 2013 rather than suspending him, meaning he was able to operate for a further six months.

It was during that period that he twice operated on Ms Rose.
