The stench of sewage remained in a children’s cancer ward even after its multimillion-pound makeover, an inquiry has heard.
The inquiry heard the estates department checked the ward, the vents and the hospital’s plant rooms but nothing could be found. The £840 million Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, where the children’s hospital is based, was built adjacent to the Shieldhall wastewater treatment facility. In March 2018, she told the inquiry, contamination was found in the water and patients and families were told not to use it.
“There was a concern that the amount of children with central line infections had increased,” she said. Mobile Hepa filters were installed, and around the same time, there were reports of mould being found in the showers on the new ward as well as their seals needing to be replaced.
