£34m spent on stalled NHS centres for ops backlog

Advertisements

Figures released to BBC Scotland show that a total of £9.7m has been spent developing plans for a treatment centre in the grounds of St John’s Hospital, Livingston.

This would be one of the biggest surgery centres in Scotland and was originally projected to cost £70.9m and open in 2027.

However, the last cost estimate came in 2023 when it was suggested it would cost £184m.

Another planned treatment centre in Perth has cost £12.5m so far, one in Aberdeen has racked up £6.8m in development costs and one in Cumbernauld, where a site has still to be found, has cost £323,000.

Private facility Carrick Glen Hospital in Ayr was bought by NHS Ayrshire and Arran in 2022 for £1.8m with the view to refurbish it and create a treatment centre to open this year.

This work is now on hold but £2.9m has been spent developing the plans so far.
