The opening of a new 30-bed ward for knee and hip surgeries at Forth Valley Royal Hospital is delayed due to safety issues.

The opening of a new 30-bed ward at Forth Valley Royal Hospital, designed for knee and hip surgeries, has been delayed due to safety issues identified in a recent review. Concerns include ventilation, fire safety, and flooding. Initially slated to open in 2022, the project, constructed with Portakabin buildings, is on hold until a technical solution is approved. NHS Forth Valley aims to keep the project within its estimated budget of approximately £10 million.
