Anas Sarwar has claimed he has found “damning evidence” that political pressure was applied to open Glasgow’s super-hospital on time.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) officials told the Scottish Hospitals Inquiry that pressure was applied to open the hospital on time and on budget before it was ready.
Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar said: “I have here in my hand official Scottish Government meeting notes.
Sarwar said Swinney “needs to tell us why political pressure was being applied to open a hospital that wasn’t ready and led to people dying”.
This evidence is damning.”The meeting notes quoted by Sarwar form part of a bundle of miscellaneous documents provided to the public inquiry.
