Scottish Hospitals Inquiry set up in 2020 after deaths of a number of patients.

Inquiry heard from senior managers, estates staff, whistleblowers, independent experts and affected families.

Affected families say they have not been reassured the problems have been solved.

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde says it can “provide absolute assurance” to patients, families, staff and public.

Louise Slorance’s husband Andrew died from cancer at the hospital in 2020 .

She was not aware of any changes to the ward where Tony was treated.

She still thinks there is a failure of governance and effective management at the hospitals.

The inquiry is due to hear further evidence next April before closing hearings in August 2025 .
