NHS Lanarkshire has thanked everyone who gave their feedback during the planning consultation for the new University Hospital Monklands, which closed yesterday (29 March).

Monklands Replacement Project director Graeme Reid said: “The input from the public and our staff is, as always, very valuable.

“The comments we received during our online consultation events and through the other feedback channels will help us to shape the final proposals before we submit our planning application for the new University Hospital Monklands at Wester Moffat in Airdrie.

“We will produce a detailed consultation report which will be provided to North Lanarkshire Council along with the planning application when it is submitted later this year.

“Once the detailed design has been submitted for permission, there will be a further opportunity for the community to comment directly to the council on the proposals, to inform the local authority’s consideration of the application.”
