Stench of sewage remained on kids' cancer ward at Glasgow super hospital after makeover
The stench of sewage remained in a children's cancer ward even after its multimillion-pound makeover, an inquiry has heard.
The inquiry heard the estates department checked the ward, the vents and the hospital's plant rooms but nothing could be found. Somerville said she thought the move was to last four weeks, but it went on for three-and-a-half years. During that period, the inquiry has previously been told, there had been an £11 million refurbishment.
"There was a concern that the amount of children with central line infections had increased," she said. "I hadn't seen the volume of children affected before. So that was concerning. And also infection control and microbiology were concerned."
