£23m for primary care centres to be improved Print E-mail
Thursday, 01 November 2007

Health boards across Scotland are to benefit from an extra £23m to improve and modernise primary care premises, Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon announced today.

The money will be used to make a range of improvements at premises including community hospitals, dental centres and community health centres.

Sturgeon stressed that the Government was committed to ensuring that as much healthcare as possible was delivered locally.

"I realise that ensuring that primary care premises are fit for the purpose of delivering 21st century healthcare is essential to realising this ambition.

"That is why I am delighted to be able to announce today a further £23m to enable boards to make improvements to primary care premises.

"I am also pleased to see that many of the projects being planned by boards bring together health services with other vital local services. This exactly mirrors the Scottish Government's vision of making local services as accessible as possible."

Some of the premises set to benefit include Jedburgh Health Centre, Ayr Neighbourhood Centre, Drumchapel Children and Family Centre, Tain and Nairn dental centres and Firhill Health and Social Care Centre in Edinburgh.
