The consultation for a new hospital in Airdrie closed yesterday.

NHS Lanarkshire has thanked the public for giving feedback on the development of the new University Hospital Monklands. 

Monklands Replacement Project director Graeme Reid said: “The input from the public and our staff is, as always, very valuable.

“The comments we received during our online consultation events and through the other feedback channels will help us to shape the final proposals before we submit our planning application for the new University Hospital Monklands at Wester Moffat in Airdrie."

Those wishing to communicate their views on the plans to the council can do so again at a later date. 

Graeme added: “We will produce a detailed consultation report which will be provided to North Lanarkshire Council along with the planning application when it is submitted later this year.

“Once the detailed design has been submitted for permission, there will be a further opportunity for the community to comment directly to the council on the proposals, to inform the local authority’s consideration of the application.”
