Mould Found in Glasgow's QEUH Cancer Ward

Mould growth has been discovered in a cancer ward at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, specifically in room 85 of the bone marrow transplant unit, which had been closed since February 19 due to potential water ingress. Scotland's Health Secretary, Neil Gray, confirmed the finding to Parliament, emphasizing the need for immediate resolution from United Kingdom===NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. This incident adds to existing concerns at the hospital, which is already subject to a national inquiry into patient deaths and infections linked to its water and ventilation systems. First Minister John Swinney also confirmed a 'red alert' for a ward, later downgraded to 'amber', though officials attribute the alert escalation primarily to media interest rather than an increased clinical threat. Conservative MSP Meghan Gallacher has pressed the Scotland===Scottish Government for further action, inspections of other wards, and accountability for the latest issues.
