A mum is suing a scandal-hit hospital she claims covered up ward contamination by accusing her of trying to murder her disabled daughter.
Kirsteen Cooper was arrested and thrown in a police cell in 2017 after senior managers at the Royal Hospital for Children (RHC) in Glasgow wrongly said she tried to harm cerebral palsy sufferer Baillie.
The mum of three was made aware of the allegation just days after complaining of hygiene failings on the ward where her four-year-old daughter was being treated.
But now that the hospital is at the centre of a major public inquiry into child deaths and contamination, Kirsteen believes her case was an attempt at a “blatant cover-up”.
Kirsteen is taking legal action against NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde after the health board failed to apologise even when allegations against her were found to be completely false.
She said: “I can barely describe the hell I went through between that moment and being completely vindicated at a court hearing.
“I was accused of trying to murder my own sick daughter. It was beyond comprehension, it left me feeling suicidal.
“I firmly believe now – when you consider all we have heard at the public inquiry – that I was the victim of a blatant cover-up.”
The RHC, which is part of the £842million Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) campus, is being probed over safety fears, patient deaths from infections and water contamination claims.
Baillie, who uses a wheelchair and has suffered from serious illness since birth, was admitted to RHC in December 2016.
Kirsteen claims the child protection investigation against her came to light on January 26, 2017, after she made a formal complaint to the hospital alleging serious issues with hygiene, including Baillie’s room
