Description

Sam Eljamel (pictured) was a top NHS brain surgeon who harmed dozens of his patients, leaving some with life-changing injuries.

On the opening day of a public inquiry, we ask victim Jules Rose and Justin Bowie, who has covered the story for The Courier in Dundee, whether NHS Tayside could have stopped Eljamel sooner.

Scotcast is the BBC’s Scottish news podcast, with Martin Geissler, Laura Miller and Natalie Higgins.
