To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-12475 by Nicola Sturgeon on 9 May 2008, what the reason is for the delay in completing the new community hospital in Girvan.
Answer
NHS Ayrshire and Arran have advised that the delay in completing the new community hospital in Girvan has been due to a number of unforeseen technical problems that arose during the construction phase, including a key supplier of structural materials being unable to fulfil their contractual obligations and subsequently going into administration. This required a new supplier to be identified. The recent severe weather has also resulted in a further short delay.
