NHS Lanarkshire<\/a> has welcomed the Scottish Government<\/a>\u2019s approval of Wester Moffat as the site for the new University Hospital Monklands<\/h2>\n

The health board recognises that there are still a number of stages of the Monklands Replacement Project<\/a> (MRP) that need to be completed before construction of the hospital can begin, the next being the outline business case.<\/p>\n

Delivering Scotland\u2019s first digital hospital<\/h3>\n

Neena Mahal, chair of NHS Lanarkshire, said: \u201cWe are delighted that the cabinet secretary for health and sport, Jeane Freeman, has approved the recommendation by the Board of NHS Lanarkshire that Wester Moffat should be the home of the new Monklands.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe process of site selection for the MRP would not have been possible without the vital input we received from the public and our staff during our extensive stakeholder engagement process prior to the recommendation of a preferred site.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would also like to acknowledge the hard work of the MRP team and my board colleagues for their support and diligence.\u201d<\/p>\n

University Hospital Monklands chief of medical services Dr Rory Mackenzie, commented: \u201cThis decision will be warmly welcomed by all my colleagues across the hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a crucial step forward on the road to a new Monklands that will be essential in supporting the ideal model of care for our future healthcare challenges<\/a>, including the rising elderly population.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will use the latest technology to deliver Scotland\u2019s first digital hospital and clinicians remain at the heart of the process, ensuring our new, ultra-modern hospital<\/a> is designed to tackle public health issues such as the current coronavirus pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

MRP director, Graeme Reid, added: \u201cWe look forward to detailing the significant clinical and economic benefits that the construction of the new hospital will bring to the people of Lanarkshire in our outline business case later this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will share our exciting plans in the coming months to ensure the public and our staff are fully aware of developments and can continue to provide input.\u201d<\/p>\n
