The £842m South Glasgow Hospital project, the largest NHS project to be undertaken in Scotland, is progressing on time and on budget.
It is now less than four years until the New South Glasgow
Hospital Campus will be fully open for business. Glasgow's new
£842million "super-hospital" is on track to be delivered on
schedule and on budget, according to the man in charge of the
mammoth project.
The project is scheduled for completion in February 2015 and will
involve the creation of a new adult hospital,
children
hospital and large maternity
unit.
The New South Glasgow Hospital Campus will provide the ultimate
"gold-standard" of healthcare, with acute adult, paediatric and
maternity services located together for the first time in the
city.
The children's hospital is expected to be operational first with
the adult one slightly later because it involves the transfer of
services from the Western Infirmary, the Southern General and the
Victoria Infirmary.
Work on the two new hospitals, which is being carried out by
Brookfield Construction, is already under way following the
completion of a new £75m super-laboratory.
A series of articles in the Evening Times is focussing on the
hospital build:
