Watchdog rapped for blanking docs' fears

FIRST Minister Humza Yousaf is "very disappointed" in an NHS watchdog's handling of public safety concerns at a hospital in Glasgow.

Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS) apologised to consultants at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) for its "shortcomings" in probing 18 months of evidence about overcrowding and staff shortages.

Staff said the issues had "seriously compromised" the safety of patients.

The concerns were first flagged by 29 consultants in 2023 but the watchdog did not ask to see evidence or meet the doctors.
