Now the victims of Eljamel’s botched surgery, who number more than 170, complain the police only ramped up their investigation following the announcement of a public inquiry into the scandal.
Next week, victims will protest outside Bell Street Police Station in Dundee at the length of time they have had to wait to see if charges will be brought.
Jules Rose and Pat Kelly were the first two victims to report their cases to Police Scotland.
