Summary
The guidance followed in publishing this report has since been superseded by Planning with People guidance
This report sets out our assessment of whether NHS Lanarkshire’s engagement and consultation process for the replacement or refurbishment of University Hospital Monklands followed Scottish Government guidance, which requires that NHS boards seek, listen to and act on the views of potentially affected people and communities when proposing changes to services.
Based on the evidence outlined in this report, our view is that NHS Lanarkshire has partially followed the national guidance set out by the Scottish Government.
In June 2019, an Independent Review Panel published its findings on aspects of NHS Lanarkshire’s consultation on the Monklands Replacement/Refurbishment Programme.
In response to the recommendations from both the Independent Review Panel and our assessment, NHS Lanarkshire undertook further engagement, including option appraisal on the most suitable location for the most suitable Monklands Replacement Project.
We published a follow-up assessment report in November 2020.
