Concerns over Aberdeen hospital project ‘downplayed’

Investigation finds whistle-blower warnings not fully addressed

An investigation has found concerns which were raised by a whistleblower about a new hospital project in Aberdeen were at times downplayed despite costly delays.

The Baird Family Hospital and Anchor Centre were due to open in 2020, but neither is complete, and the budget has more than tripled.

In documents seen by STV News, an investigation found a key process in the design of the new project was not carried out, leading to concerns over infection risks, redesigns and rising costs.

NHS Grampian says the concerns raised have been thoroughly investigated and that it welcomes the scrutiny.
