Public inquiry into Sam Eljamel continues after logbook destruction probe. Former consultant neurosurgeon at Ninewells (1995–2013); alleged harm to up to 200 patients.
The Eljamel public inquiry has heard that theatre logbooks linked to the convicted surgeon were destroyed despite a do-not-destroy order. NHS Tayside chief executive Nicky Connor has acknowledged that the incident has eroded trust and caused distress to patients. The inquiry is examining the broader failures in documentation and the accountability of NHS bodies.
