Summary
Two major Scottish hospitals, Baird Family Hospital and Anchor Cancer Centre, facing massive delays and cost overruns—now costing over £438 million and pushed to 2027—due to electrical and water system issues. NHS Grampian warns more delays are possible. In response, Health Secretary Angela Constance unveils a National Oversight Board to enforce safety and set firm opening timelines. Local MSP Jack Middleton supports the move, demanding accountability while acknowledging current patient care remains strong. NHS Grampian’s director apologizes for the wait, stressing long-term safety and readiness for top-tier facilities once completed.
