Bereaved relatives have called on a senior judge to explain why two top lawyers suddenly quit a vital public inquiry. Alastair Duncan KC and Victoria Arnott quit the Scottish Hospitals Inquiry last week in a move which shocked many of those participating.
Officials have remained tight-lipped about the reason for their departure and families of those who have died or became infected while at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) campus are now demanding an explanation.
They say failing to reveal why the lead lawyer for the inquiry and his depute quit will create doubts among the core participants at a time when they need the most reassurance.
