A former health board chief executive has told an inquiry it was “very difficult” to identify paperwork around a key decision on ventilation at the flagship hospital in Glasgow. Jane Grant, who led NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde between 2017 and 2024, faced questions on ventilation issues at the hospital as she gave evidence to the Scottish Hospitals Inquiry on Tuesday. The inquiry has been examining the design and construction of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) in Glasgow and the Royal Hospital for Children, which are on the same campus. Ms Grant said: “We had great difficulty, I had great difficulty, in establishing – ‘show me the paperwork’ and so on. “But that was the only conversation about that.”The inquiry was shown emails from May 2016 which discussed a “potentially serious” variation in ventilation at the hospital.
