Eljamel Inquiry Delayed: Safety Issues at Venue
Description
The Eljamel Inquiry into disgraced brain surgeon Sam Eljamel faces a setback as its first evidential hearings are delayed due to safety concerns at the Waverley Gate, Edinburgh venue. The Scottish Government, which leased the building in 2024, only discovered the risks in February, leading to a postponement. The inquiry team has paused stage one hearings until safety measures are implemented or a new venue is found. Patients and families are left anxious and confused due to the governments lack of communication about the delay. The inquiry aims to provide answers and lessons learned following Eljamels alleged harm to up to 200 patients during his tenure at Dundees Ninewells Hospital.
