Bosses at Scotland’s biggest health board have admitted paying private investigators to spy on the relatives of dead patients.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) are using an external firm to conduct their Big Brother-style monitoring tactics on critical patients and relatives at the scandal-hit Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH).
The Sunday Mail previously revealed NHSGGC employed a scheme it calls “social listening” to check online posts of individuals they keep on a list, including people questioning what has gone wrong at the £842million super-hospital in Glasgow.
