Prosecutors probe seven deaths linked to Glasgow hospital infections
Scotland’s prosecution service is investigating seven deaths potentially linked to environmental infections at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. The Crown Office is reviewing cases, including those of Molly Cuddihy and Milly Main, to determine if corporate homicide charges are warranted. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde recently admitted that water system issues likely caused infections in some pediatric cancer patients, while police reports have been submitted for four earlier deaths.
