NHS staff in Glasgow employed by collapsed construction firm Carillion are facing uncertainty over their jobs.

A number of staff who work at the Langlands Unit based at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital campus are employed by the firm through a sub-contract arrangement with the health board.

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said a total of 31 domestic and porter staff and one manager were affected and said management of the employees had been taken over by another film.

The board said there would be "no impact" on services at the elderly care unit.

Around 43,000 jobs are hanging in the balance following the collapse of one of the UK's largest construction firms which is a key supplier to the Government and has contracts in the rail industry, education and NHS.

Its collapse through an application for compulsory liquidation means the company will eventually be dissolved, with creditors sharing any money from the sale of its assets.

However, there is some hope that many will keep their jobs, albeit through the work being transferred.

The Government has committed to funding public service contracts, for the moment at least, and has asked all staff to turn up for work as normal.

A board spokeswoman said: "NHSGGC do not have a direct contract with Carillion, however, through a sub contract arrangement there are 31 domestic and porter staff (and one manager) employed by Carillion who are directly affected by what has happened to Carillion.

"A company - Imagile - have taken over direct management of the staff from this morning.

"All the 31 staff involved work in the Langlands Unit which is an elderly care facility on the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital campus. There will be no impact on domestic or porter services at the unit."
