New report from Scottish Hospitals Inquiry reveals Scottish Governments checks on Queen Elizabeth University Hospital fell short, leading to serious water and ventilation problems. The government relied too much on the local health board, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, to handle compliance with health standards. The note stresses any push to meet the opening deadline and budget happened without knowing the risks. Scottish Labour leaders criticize poor oversight by SNP ministers, while Health Secretary Neil Gray defends ministers, stating they were not pressured to open early. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde reports big fixes underway, backed by over fifty million pounds in upgrades. The government also set up NHS Assure in 2021 for better future oversight.
