Rev hits out at 'uncaring' hospital bosses
A hospital chaplain has slammed "uncaring" Glasgow health bosses as families who lost loved ones in a superbug outbreak launched a legal bid for a public inquiry.Rev Ian Miller of Dumbarton is a former member of the Argyll and Clyde board which handed control of Vale of Leven Hospital to NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
A total of 18 deaths have now been linked to the clostridium difficile bacteria at the Vale.
Mr Miller feels his successors are not listening. He said: "I have seen the distress and concern of staff as well as the grief of the families who have lost loved ones.
"I have no doubt that since Greater Glasgow and Clyde took over they have been determined to shut the hospital. In our consultation with them, they have been unfeeling, unsympathetic, unlistening and uncaring."
