I received a full report from the Chief Executive of Lanarkshire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust at the time the said articles first appeared, and my officials continue to closely monitor the position and liaise with the trust.Where there are matters that still require attention, the trust is urgently addressing them with its contractors. In many cases, however, the press articles have been exaggerated, inaccurate or refer to matters that were resolved by the trust several weeks before they were reported in the press.
