flag Scottish Labour accuses First Minister of hiding early warnings about hospital infection risks, while government says it only learned in March 2018.

flag Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar accused First Minister John Swinney of misleading the public about when the Scottish Government learned of infection risks at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, citing at least 14 warnings before March 2018. flag Sarwar condemned a reported remark by former chief nursing officer Fiona McQueen suggesting families could have been offered £50,000 for a “trip to Disneyland” instead of truth and justice, calling it shameful. flag The government maintains it only became aware of systemic issues in March 2018 and reaffirmed full confidence in McQueen, who remains chair of the Scottish Police Authority. flag The independent Scottish Hospitals Inquiry, led by Lord Brodie, continues its investigation into the hospital’s premature opening and related patient deaths.
