Scottish government oversight failures at Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital led to undetected safety flaws, contributing to patient infections and a child's death.
The Scottish Hospitals Inquiry's March 2026 supplementary note found the Scottish Government’s oversight of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow was inadequate, with officials unaware of serious water and ventilation system flaws until 2018 or 2019—years after the 2015 opening.
The government’s systems failed to ensure compliance with health design standards, and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde lacked sufficient oversight and resources.
The inquiry concluded that earlier intervention could have prevented issues linked to patient infections, including the death of 10-year-old Milly Main.
While political leaders called for further testimony, the inquiry’s lawyers found no basis for additional hearings.
Scottish Labour condemned the findings as a failure of government oversight, while NHS GGC reaffirmed its commitment to patient safety.
