Question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will arrange for a referendum among the local community served by Stobhill Hospital to take place on the proposal to build a secure unit at the hospital.
Answer
As I have stated previously this important issue is most appropriately resolved at a local level. It is for Greater Glasgow Health Board to engage in discussion and dialogue with their local communities on the proposals to develop a Local Forensic Unit at Stobhill Hospital.
