General Question Time
Baird Family Hospital and ANCHOR Centre
The Scottish Government works closely with NHS Grampian and NHS Scotland Assure on all capital investment projects. Safety is always paramount, and NHS Grampian is implementing several changes to the new hospital as a result of clinical recommendations following a design review, which has had an impact on the completion date and the cost.
The key stage assurance review process is in place to ensure that a safe, high-quality healthcare facility is delivered. We are focused on ensuring that the ANCHOR centre and the Baird family hospital open when they can operate safely and effectively.
