MONKLANDS REPLACEMENT PROJECT - Update for stakeholders – 10 January 2020 The Board of NHS Lanarkshire has approved a shortlist of three potential sites for a new, state-of-the-art University Hospital Monklands. The shortlisted sites are (in alphabetical order): · Gartcosh · Glenmavis · Wester Moffat All of the sites meet the five site selection criteria, which were shared with the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport, Jeane Freeman. Monklands Replacement Project site selection criteria · Must sit within University Hospital Monklands unscheduled care catchment area; · Must be a minimum of 40 developable acres; · Site must have no detrimental impact on adjoining unscheduled catchment areas of hospitals in Lanarkshire, Glasgow or Forth Valley; · Site must be designated to permit appropriate development; · Site must have sufficient road and transport infrastructure to support the development of a major hospital site. The sites at Gartcosh and Glenmavis were previously found to meet the selection criteria prior to an option appraisal process in 2018. The land at Wester Moffat is a new addition to the options for an alternative location for the hospital, and was identified through a public site nominations process run by NHS Lanarkshire.

I am increasingly concerned at the distance people in the Biggar area are being required to travel in order to access hospital care.
