Five wards left with single nurse at crisis-hit Queen Elizabeth University Hospital
At least five wards at Scotland’s showpiece hospital were forced to operate with just a single registered nurse on duty as the NHS crisis deepens.
The shortage on Monday evening at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital affected wards including gastroenterology, rheumatology and diabetes.
Greater Glasgow & Clyde Health Board wrote to staff asking them to “continue to support the nurse teams and where possible check in more frequently on the following wards … who will only have 1 Registered Nurse tonight”.
The email from Sharon Parrot, clincal service manager, Medicine South Sector, also told staff that the health board had asked admin workers to stay on to offer support by “answering phones, door buzzer etc”. She said the request would continue for the rest of the week.
Staff due on shift on Tuesday during the day were also asked to come in early to help night shift staff.

Scots dad saves stranger's wedding after finding bride's dress abandoned at Edinburgh Airport
An eagle-eyed Scots dad who spotted an abandoned package at Edinburgh Airport saved a stranger's wedding after discovering the bride's missing wedding dress just hours before the ceremony. Graeme Reid was returning from a family holiday in Italy with his wife and two young children when they faced their own baggage chaos on Wednesday.
The 57-year-old was waiting to see if their six bags would arrive when he spotted the well-packaged cardboard box lying on the floor with a label marked for the city’s Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa. He contacted the venue and sent them photographs of its location before receiving a frantic phone call from father-of-the-bride Peter who explained that the dress went missing while he and his wife travelled to Scotland from their home in Bangkok four days earlier.
The 67-year-old raced to the busy transport hub and desperately hunted for a member of staff who could help reunite him with daughter Stephanie’s custom dress. Thanks to an "angel" from Menzies Aviation, who are the baggage handling firm for the airline Lufthansa, Peter was reunited with the missing dress which had sat unattended for 30 hours.
Grieving Scots family's relief as evil child killer fails in bid for freedom
Child killer Mark Bonini’s plea to be released has been knocked back by the Parole Board for Scotland.
Evil Bonini was due to plead for his freedom in April, just three days before what should have been his tiny victim Andrew Morton’s 20th birthday. But that hearing was delayed and Bonini finally made his case for freedom earlier this month.
Andrew was only two when Bonini shot him through the head in March 2005 with an airgun he had modified to give it greater power. Bonini, 44, was sentenced to life with a minimum of 13 years before he could apply for parole but has now served more than 17 years.
