Maintenance costs across Ayrshire hospitals are sitting at an eye-watering £74.5 million.
A series of Freedom of Information requests by the Scottish Conservatives flagged the costly repair work still to be carried out across Scotland’s 14 health boards.
In NHS Ayrshire and Arran, it was revealed that maintenance costs, from 2021/22, now sit at £74,590,000 - an increase of £5.89 million from the £68,700,000 required funds in 2017/18.
