A Glasgow flagship hospital <\/a>had the highest number of Covid deaths probed by the Crown Office, it has been revealed.<\/p>\n Prosecutors are probing the deaths at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital <\/a>as part of a wider investigation from the pandemic. As well as hospital settings, care homes are also being looked into.<\/p>\n NHS <\/a>Glasgow Greater Glasgow and Clyde have been warned that it has questions to answer about why such a significant number of Covid deaths are being probed at its hospitals. A total of 133 cases are still being looked at – a 43% of the entire total.<\/p>\n Louise Slorance, whose husband Andrew died at the QEUH <\/a>in 2020 after contracting Covid during cancer treatment, is still seeking answers from the health board about his death.<\/p>\n She blames them for him catching the disease despite being in isolation.<\/p>\n She wrote on X: “COPFS Covid deaths investigation team (CDIT) statistics on COVID deaths in hospitals offer some important insights, namely on our largest health board, NHS GGC & the effectiveness of @scotgov flagship super hospital, the QEUH. 43% of the death investigations being carried out by CDIT are in NHS GGC <\/a>hospitals.<\/p>\n “30% of these deaths occurred at the QEUH<\/a>. The QEUH has just 22% of GGC’s bed capacity. The disproportionate nature of QEUH COVID deaths is only exacerbated when you consider this is a single bedded hospital. As the Project Director for the #QEUH told the @ScotHospInquiry last week single rooms are the optimum for stopping the transfer of infection.<\/p>\n “Single bedrooms alone should have led to lower nosocomial COVID infection. Add in state of the art facilities (that’s what we were told, not what was provided) & COVID mitigations, the expectation must be a lower rate than other older hospitals <\/a>& the lowest across Scotland.<\/p>\n “Yet here we are with Scotland’s flagship QEUH hospital with the highest number of COVID deaths reported to COPFS and, CDIT investigations <\/a>second only to another GGC ran hospital the GRI. Explanations must be provided for this anomaly.”<\/p>\n NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said: “We would like to offer our condolences to the loved ones of any patient who has died. As well as looking after a core population of more than 1.3 million, hospitals across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde <\/a>offer a range of highly specialised regional and national services for people throughout Scotland.<\/p>\n “This means that a high proportion of the sickest patients in the country are treated at our hospitals<\/a>, and we would like to thank our highly skilled and dedicated staff who do all they can to care for these patients in challenging circumstances.<\/p>\n “Latest Hospital Standardised Mortality Ratio figures from Public Health Scotland show that, despite looking after this high concentration of the most vulnerable patients, NHSGGC <\/a>has the lowest crude mortality rate of any health board in Scotland outside NHS Shetland.<\/p>\n
