Inquiry launched in Edinburgh to investigate former neurosurgeon Sam Eljamel over claims of harming patients.

A public inquiry into former neurosurgeon Sam Eljamel's actions has begun in Edinburgh. Eljamel is accused of harming dozens of patients during his time at NHS Tayside. The Patients Action Group (PAG), representing affected patients, welcomed the inquiry but expressed concerns over its inability to make binding recommendations to regulatory bodies like the General Medical Council. The inquiry will examine Eljamel's appointment, handling of concerns, and whether information was concealed.
