One of Scotland's leading paediatric doctors said she still does not know what happened at a multi-million pound super hospital to cause infections in a children's ward. Professor Brenda Gibson, a consultant paediatric haematologist, gave evidence to the Scottish Hospitals Inquiry on Monday, which is investigating a series of contamination issues at the £840million Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow.
Scottish ministers announced the inquiry in the wake of deaths linked to infections at the hospital, including that of 10-year-old Millie Main, who was being treated for cancer at the children's hospital that is part of the same campus.
But on Monday, Professor Gibson, lead of the Schiehallion haemato-oncology unit, said: "There are two versions of what's happened. There is a real environmental problem (and) there's no environmental problem at all. I still don't know which is true.
