The stench of sewage remained in a children's cancer ward even after its multimillion-pound makeover, an inquiry has heard.
Emma Somerville, a senior charge nurse at the Schiehallion unit's ward 2a at Glasgow's Royal Hospital for Children, was giving evidence to the Scottish Hospitals Inquiry on Wednesday, which is looking into a series of contamination issues at what was billed as a state-of-the-art facility.
She told the inquiry that before the unit was moved out of the ward, and before its refurbishment, there had been issues with the temperature and humidity of the rooms, showers flooding into bedrooms, and the smell thought to have been from nearby sewage works.
