CORRECTIONS AND COMPLAINTS

A story on February 13 about a woman who died after contracting the infection mucor fungus at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital stated that her family found out that their relative had contracted mucor through the hospital’s press release alone.

In fact, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s press release did not refer to the mucor infection or its severity. The family were told that their relative had a fungal infection prior to the press release being published. We therefore accept that we reported in error that the family only found out about a mucor infection through a press release on the hospital website. ●If we have published anything factually inaccurate, please contact the readers’ editor on 0141 309 3454, by email at readerseditor@ dailyrecord.co.uk or write to Readers’ Editor, 1 Central Quay, Glasgow, G3 8DA and, once verified, we will correct it as soon as possible.
