A Glasgow MSP has demanded answers on why it is set to take five years to replace cladding deemed to be unsafe at the city's largest hospital.
MSP Pam Duncan-Glancy has written to the Health Secretary to request he set out the risk associated with the current panelling which could aid the spread of rapid fire at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
Scottish Fire and Rescue chiefs previously advised the health board that the material should be removed 'as soon as practicable' and replaced with wall lining materials that reduce fire risk.
