Investigation launched at Glasgow hospital after two patients die in A&E waiting room
An investigation has been launched after two patients died from heart attacks while waiting to be seen in A&E. The patients were in a queue to be assessed at the Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Accident & Emergency department.
Last week, Alex Cole-Hamilton, leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, demanded an inquiry into the number of patients who have died due to the ongoing crisis. “These tragic cases highlight exactly why that inquiry is needed.
