The questions keep mounting around Waverley Gate.
Why the secrecy? How long has the building safety issue actually been known about?
If Building Control is part of @EdinburghCC, how can the Council claim it had no involvement?
What are the @ScotGov keeping hidden?

π₯ Dear Scottish Government, why the secrecy?
You set up an inquiry to find the truth, yet both you and Edinburgh Council are dodging multiple FOIs on the venue saga that's delaying it from even starting.
Not a good look. Whereβs the transparency?

Who are the third party mentioned?
Redacted FOIs, contradictions, obfuscation, and zero transparency.
Harmed patients are still being forced to uncover the facts themselves. One thing is certain: we will not stop until the truth is exposed!!!

"Never Event" is one of the NHS's strangest terms.
If it happened, it wasn't a "never" eventβit was a real event that harmed a real patient.
NHS Scotland defines Never Events as serious, largely preventable incidents that shouldn't occur if proper safety measures are in place.

π₯53 botched operations by NHS in 5 years. @NHSTayside had proportionally the worst record with 17 cases.
Lessons are never learned are they?!
Yet @scotgov said mistakes are βrareβ and reviews are to be improved. π³ #PatientSafety

Yet these "Never Events" keep happening!
Maybe it's time to stop calling them "Never Events", and start calling them what they are: Preventable Failures!
Patients end up paying the price when "never" becomes reality!!!

The FOI responses make one thing clear: @EdinburghCC had, and still has, involvement with Waverley Gate. The documents show it. Yet we're expected to ignore the evidence and believe the denials instead.
Do they really think the public is that gullible?

π₯ Itβs like the Salmond/ Hamilton files all over again.
More contempt from @scotgov for #Eljamel victims. @EdinburghCC

Given how long these issues have been known about, the real question is this:
Why were harmed patients and the public ever allowed through the doors of Waverley Gate to attend the Eljamel Public Inquiry?

Too many lies & cover-ups have already led to this Public Inquiry. Now @EdinburghCC & @ScotGov appear to be denying involvement in the Waverley Gate safety issues, and subsequent delays to the Inquiry.
Transparency shouldn't require FOIs to uncover the truth. #TheyDitherWeDie

Who knew what, and when???
Far more appears to have been happening between @ScotGov and @EdinburghCC than the public has been told β and much earlier too. Even the Eljamel Public Inquiry Team seems to have been kept uninformed.
Transparency? No. Concealment? Yes.

π₯ βIt was quite damning about the way the Scottish Government conducts itself in terms of FOI.β That's been my experience too with SG & Edinburgh Council when trying to uncover the truth behind the long running venue saga that's holding up our inquiry! @FOIScotland @DvdHmltn

If I may jump in here⦠what was @PoliceScotland doing for FIVE years regarding reviewing #Eljamel victim complaints?! And only upon getting granted a public inquiry in 2023 was it then upgraded from a 2 man team to the Major Investigation Team!
In three months time it shall be EIGHT years without a charge in sight.
Just saying.

Two groups of patients. The same surgeon. The same harm.
NHS patients were given a pathway to seek justice after the timebar was reset. Private patients were not.
One scandal. One surgeon. One standard of justice.
Reset the timebar for all #Eljamel victims.

π₯ A polite message for @circlehealthgrp & @MDDUS_News.
The clock is ticking. Remove the time-bar for private #Eljamel patients. Please share π

Dr Frankenstein created a monster, and in the end that monster was hunted down and destroyed.
Eljamel's victims are still hunting for justice decades after our lives were changed forever.
The difference is that Frankenstein's monster faced consequences. Eljamel never has.

Years later, we're still enduring surgeries, medication, lost earnings, anxiety, depression and the daily struggle of living with injuries we should never have suffered.
The physical damage is one thing. The psychological trauma is another. Neither simply disappears with time.

While victims continue to pay the price, he walked away with his pension intact and without facing any accountability.
His patients received a life sentence. He didn't.
If justice means accountability, why does it seem that only his victims have been punished?
