To ask the Scottish Executive whether there will be a time gap between the transfer of services from the Queen Mother’s Hospital to the new children’s hospital at the Southern General Hospital and, if so, what this will be.
Answer
This is an operational matter for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, however, the Board have confirmed that all Glasgow Maternity Units provide neonatal services. The Princess Royal Maternity Hospital (PRM) and Southern General provides the full range of care from intensive care high dependency and special care; the Queen Mother''s Hospital (QMH) provides special care services only and Royal Hospital for Sick Children (RHSC) provides intensive care services in a combined medical and surgical intensive care unit. When the QMH closes their special care neonatal services will transfer to the Southern General Hospital (SGH) and PRM. The combined medical and surgical intensive care service will remain at the RHSC, Yorkhill until the new children''s hospital opens at the SGH. There will be a period of four years between the QMH closure and the new children''s hospital opening. Clinical staff fully support this service model for the gap period.
