BEFORE the opening of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, an independent inspection flagged serious risks with the water system.

The report was ignored. The hospital was opened anyway and people lost their lives as a result.

Grieving families seeking the truth about why their loved ones died were lied to, gaslighted and dismissed.

Brave whistleblowers trying to keep patients safe were bullied, intimidated and threatened.

The SNP government and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde closed ranks and tried to bury the issue, protecting their reputations instead of protecting patients.

More than a decade on, we still don't have answers on why this catastrophic decision was made in 2015.

NHS bosses and SNP ministers have lied every step of the way and seem determined to continue.
