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
