‘Molly never got to hear it’: fury as denials finally end on Glasgow hospital infections
AI Summary
A public inquiry in Glasgow is investigating infections at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and Royal Hospital for Children. After years of denials, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde admitted that contaminated water likely caused serious infections in 84 child cancer patients, resulting in two deaths. This admission came during the inquiry's final stages, ordered after concerns about infection control in the hospital's water and ventilation systems arose following high infection rates and deaths. Families, including that of Molly Cuddihy, who died in August after contracting an infection during cancer treatment, expressed outrage at the delayed acknowledgement, stating it caused avoidable distress. The inquiry also heard that the hospital building was not ready when it opened in 2015.
