Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Independent Review - report recommendations: Scottish Government response

Response to Recommendations from Chapter 3 – The QEUH

Recommendations 6 and 7

6. NHS Boards should prepare information resources to remind local people about past decisions on siting of health facilities.

7. In light of the public's perception of risks associated with the adjacent waste water site, any future project facing similar public perceptions should sustain a robust communication plan, recognising and addressing any concerns.

Scottish Government's Response

We will write to all NHS Chief Executives in the new year highlighting the importance of these recommendations and asking them to ensure they are implemented.

The Scottish Capital Investment Manual will be updated to reflect this point when it is next refreshed.
