Lord Advocate meets patients harmed by disgraced surgeon

Sam Eljamel was head of neurosurgery at NHS Tayside.

The Lord Advocate has met campaigners calling for criminal charges against a surgeon who’s thought to have harmed more than 200 patients.

Sam Eljamel was head of neurosurgery at NHS Tayside until he was suspended in 2013.

Dorothy Bain KC met with lead campaigner Jules Rose who first complained to Police Scotland about Eljamel six years ago.

The force says it could take several years to establish whether a crime took place.
