The inquiry is currently investigating the construction of the QEUH campus, which includes the Royal Hospital for Children, and was launched in the wake of deaths linked to infections.
The medical director of a health board has told a public inquiry that “we did not get what we expected” with a flagship Glasgow hospital at the centre of infection concerns.
It was launched in the wake of deaths linked to infections, including that of 10-year-old Milly Main. Lead counsel to the inquiry Fred Mackintosh KC asked Dr Armstrong whether after learning of the issues she became “suspicious of whether the project team and/or the contractor had done their jobs properly”.
She continued: “When we had problems with the bone marrow transplant units and indeed any other problems that arose, then I was very, very keen on sorting it out as well as keen on the patient safety aspect. She was also asked about her handling of concerns raised on a number of occasions by infection control doctors regarding patient safety in the affected wards.
