Keep Monklands Hospital where it is
Keep Monklands Hospital where it is and develop the site. The options to move the hospital elsewhere do not provide basic public transport, and ignore the redevelopment of the current site that will take place to build another hospital.
Why is this important?
NHS Lanarkshire wants to move Monklands Hospital to a new site in either Gartcosh, Glenmavis or Easter Moffat - all of which are remote from centres of population and do not have the necessary transport links. The current site is central, has good transport links and most importantly will be redeveloped as a hospital (poorly disguised as a community health village). Why therefore move it to another site, ignoring recent important developments such as the Maggies and Lanarkshire Beatson and then build two hospitals? This is foolish and provides no value for money.
