The Scottish Government says that just 97 buildings have been physically inspected by specialist engineers, who are then tasked with making recommendations for treatment or removal.

Just 97 of more than 250 NHS buildings in Scotland believed to have collapse-prone concrete have been inspected, the Scottish Government has said.

According to the government, 97 buildings have been physically inspected by specialist engineers, who are then tasked with making recommendations for treatment or removal. It is understood the review is expected to be completed in November. A Scottish Government spokeswoman said: “Building safety is an issue the Scottish Government takes very seriously and we are fully aware of significant issues with some Raac.

“In addition we established a cross-sector working group on Raac to ensure action is taken where required so that people are safe and feel safe in buildings.”
