Modernisation funding for NHS announced in Scotland

Funding to modernise NHS premises in Scotland was announced this week by First Minister Jack McConnell.

“Health centres, pharmacies and dental surgeries are the first port of call for most Scots using their NHS. They demand and deserve excellent facilities which match their needs, so we will continue to invest in new local centres,” he said. The funding, totalling £65m, will be allocated to individual projects through NHS boards over the next two years.
