Scottish Hospitals Inquiry

Summary

In September 2019, the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport announced that a public inquiry would be held to look at issues at Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Campus (QEUH), the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People (RHCYP) and Department of Clinical Neurosciences sites following concerns about patient safety and wellbeing.

The Inquiry aims to determine:

• how vital issues relating to ventilation and other key building systems gave rise to those concerns
• how they occurred
• what steps can be taken to prevent this being repeated in future projects.

Lord Brodie was appointed as chair of the Inquiry in November 2019 and the Inquiry was launched on 3 August 2020.

Anyone can submit evidence to the Inquiry in the form of a written statement and/or by providing documents. Someone who has done this or who has otherwise been identified as having potentially useful information may be asked by the Inquiry to give oral evidence at a hearing. Members of the public can watch the live stream of hearings or to attend in person, if that is practical. You can also view Inquiry documents such as transcripts of evidence given at hearings and witness statements.
