Families of patients treated at a hospital at the centre of infection concerns have said “we are going nowhere”, as they claimed flaws in the building’s environment “killed and poisoned our loved ones”.

In a statement read out on their behalf on Thursday, the families said they had been “demeaned and smeared” by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC), which they said must now face a “reckoning”.
