NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, which runs the hospital, said the incident was the result of human error after admitting that procedures for identifying and labelling bodies before transfer from the mortuary had not been followed.<\/p>\n
A full investigation has now been launched into the incident, reported to have taken place last month. Meanwhile, the staff involved have been suspended.<\/p>\n
Dr Scott Davidson, medical director at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, offered \u201csincere apologies\u201d to both families.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have very rigorous processes for the identification and labelling of bodies from arrival in our mortuaries until their release into the care of an undertaker,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is of deep regret that these processes have not been adhered to on this occasion, and that as a result two families have been caused significant additional distress at an already very difficult time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe launched an immediate investigation into this incident and will ensure that learning is applied.\u201d<\/p>\n
Queen Elizabeth university hospital is now subject to a public inquiry after a series of infection outbreaks and concerns about water and ventilation systems emerged just three years after it was built in 2015.<\/p>\n
In September, Jane Grant, who led the board between 2017 and 2025, faced questions about the hospital\u2019s communication with families and patients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
