HC Deb 27 January 1984 vol 52 cc714-5W
Sir Geoffrey Finsberg

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give details of the planned capital projects for the building of hospitals in Scotland for the years 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988, respectively, and also list those hospitals which he expects to be commissioned in 1984 and 1985.

1986 Mr. John MacKay

The plans of health boards indicate that building is expected to start on the following schemes in the major building programme in the period 1984–88:

  • Edinburgh Royal Infirmary—Plastic Surgery and Burns Unit
  • Falkirk Royal Infirmary—Maternity and Geriatric Units
  • Fife College of Nursing and Midwifery
  • Leverndale Hospital, Glasgow — Accommodation for 240 psychiatric beds
  • Parkhead Psychiatric Centre, Glasgow

  • Geriatric Unit, Annan
  • Lennox Castle Hospital, Glasgow—Mental Handicap Unit
  • Forth Valley College of Nursing and Midwifery
  • Kirklands Hospital, Bothwell, Phase II
  • Bonnybridge Hospital, Forth Valley—Psychogeriatric accommodation
  • Rutherglen Hospital—240 bed Geriatric Unit
  • Stirling Royal Infirmary—New Surgical Block
  • West Lothian District General Hospital, Phase II

  • Eastern District College of Nursing, Glasgow
  • Perth Royal Infirmary Redevelopment
  • Princess Margaret Rose Hospital, Edinburgh—Spinal Paralysis Unit
  • South Lothian College of Nursing and Midwifery

1987–88

  • Development of Gilbert Bain Hospital, Shetland

Progress on projects may be affected by a number of factors during the planning process, and as a result the content may be altered or start date affected. Thus, the dates, and particularly the later ones, should be treated with caution.

There are also many schemes financed directly by health boards themselves. Details of these are not held centrally.

The following developments, most of which are within existing hospital complexes, are expected to be commissioned or partly commissioned during 1984–85:

  • Kirklands Hospital, Bothwell, Phase I
  • Merchiston Hospital, Linwood, Phase I
  • Murray Royal Hospital, Perth, Phase II
  • Paisley District General Hospital
  • Royal Victoria Hospital, Edinburgh Phase III
  • West Fife District General Hospital, Phase I
