Monklands Hospital Delay Exposed | Glasgow News

Scottish Conservative MSP Meghan Gallacher is demanding answers from Deputy First Minister John Swinney over the Monklands Hospital replacement project, questioning whether risks were logged before the election and when officials first flagged concerns — as the SNP government rejected the £2.1 billion plan, citing cost overruns, despite promising work was already underway. With delays stretching into 2028 and legal threats looming over wasted public funds, Gallacher accuses the SNP of a “warped priority,” contrasting the hospital’s fate with the £1 billion HMP Glasgow. Residents in Lanarkshire, long waiting for a modern facility, are left frustrated as the government vows to redesign the project this summer, with no new opening date in sight.
