About 40 hard-copy theatre logbooks linked to disgraced neurosurgeon Sam Eljamel are destroyed in 2025, according to an inquiry referenced by both outlets. The logbooks are associated with NHS Tayside theatre records.
The reports say the destruction happens despite a “do not destroy” order. The inquiry’s finding reported by both publications is that there was “no malicious intent” behind the destruction, implying the actions were not driven by wrongdoing.
While the outlets agree on the basic facts—the number of logbooks involved, the NHS Tayside link, the year, and the inquiry’s conclusion—they present the issue with slightly different framing. One focuses on the “no malicious intent” conclusion, while the other emphasizes the existence of an inquiry into Eljamel and the handling of documents.
