Hoping for progress on Eljamel inquiry ‘not good enough’, minister told

Health secretary Neil Gray met patients who endured botched operations at the hands of the disgraced neurosurgeon.

Hoping for progress on the inquiry into a disgraced neurosurgeon is “not good enough”, health secretary Neil Gray was told as he sought to reassure campaigners.

Dozens of Professor Sam Eljamel’s former patients gathered outside the Scottish Parliament on Wednesday to demand a chairperson is appointed to allow the inquiry to progress.

Gray attended the funeral-like protest to tell Prof Eljamel’s victims he hopes progress will be made within “weeks”.
