A review prompted by infection deaths at the £842 million Queen Elizabeth University Hospital will call for evidence at a public meeting.

Dr Andrew Fraser, one of the co-chairs of the review, confirmed work has now got under way.

Along with co-chairman Dr Brian Montgomery, they will give an update on their investigations so far at a public meeting next week.

Anyone whose experience might be relevant to the inquiry has been urged to take part in the special session at the Radisson Blu hotel in Glasgow.

The review is examining the design, build, commissioning and maintenance at the flagship hospital.

It was ordered by Health Secretary Jeane Freeman in January after two patients - an adult and a child - died after contracting an infection linked to pigeon droppings.

Dr Fraser said: "The work of the review team is now under way and we are making progress.

"We recognise the need to keep the public informed and intend to do so when practicable.

"This event will allow us to give an update and also listen to feedback on the scope of the review."

Dr Montgomery said: "We would also like to invite anyone who has any evidence they believe may be relevant to our remit to come forward."

The public meeting, where the review team will formally launch their call for evidence, is scheduled to take place at 10.30am on Thursday June 27.

In the most serious incident, an elderly woman and a 10-year-old boy, believed to be suffering from cancer, died after developing a bug linked to pigeon droppings at the hospital.

NHSGGC has allocated £1.2million to upgrade the hospital's ventilation system and has already spent thousands dealing with other flaws including faulty glass panels on the exterior of the building, including permanent scaffolding and replacing broken blinds in the single rooms.
