The head of NHS Ayrshire and Arran has admitted to MSPs that plans for an Ayrshire ‘superhospital’ are on the backburner as the service faces ‘deteriorating’ finances.
In 2020, the service launched “Caring for Ayrshire” a ten-year plan that placed the development of a new hospital to replace Crosshouse and Ayr hospitals at its heart.
At the time it was suggested that Crosshouse Hospital could have a "shelf life of between five and ten years.”
