Patients treated by Sam Eljamel accuse NHS Tayside of failing in its “duty of candour” after raising concerns that he may have harmed as many as 200 people, according to reports. The allegations are being considered through a public inquiry process.
Both outlets describe patients as “furious” about how concerns were handled. They cite the scale of the potential harm being discussed in connection with Eljamel and note that the inquiry focuses on what was known, what actions were taken, and how communication with patients and families occurred.
While the reporting centers on patients’ anger and the duty-of-candour issue, specific details of the inquiry’s progress, the evidence cited, or any responses from NHS Tayside are not provided in the excerpts. The shared focus indicates broad agreement that an inquiry is underway and that patients believe failures in transparency contributed to their concerns.
