The second Evidence Hearing session of the Scottish Hospitals Inquiry (SHI) commences from today. The Inquiry is investigating the construction of the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People and Department of Clinical Neurosciences (RHCYP/DCN) as well as the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow, to understand what went wrong with the construction of these buildings. Through the Inquiry it is hoped that lessons can be learned to prevent the recurrence of such issues in future NHS construction projects.
This latest Evidence Hearing will focus on technical details surrounding ventilation and the impact of ventilation on infection prevention and control.
You can watch the live stream of events, or catch up on the Hearings on the Inquiry’s YouTube channel and find out more information on the SHI’s website. Further Evidence Hearing will take place in the Autumn.
