Rennie responds to Eljamel statement

Responding to the Scottish Government’s confirmation in Parliament today that there will be a public inquiry into disgraced Tayside surgeon Dr Sam Eljamel, Scottish Liberal Democrat North East Fife MSP Willie Rennie said:  

“The Cabinet Secretary has made the right decision today, but I am afraid that it has taken far too long.  

“Patients have suffered both physically and mentally throughout all of this. As time has gone on, they have become increasingly angry; faith and trust have completely broken down.  

“Now that we know there will be a public inquiry, I hope that all those who know information come forward immediately. It is important that they release that information so that patients can know more about their cases and the suffering they were forced to endure.”
