Tayside Acute Hospitals NHS Trust has been reviewing its acute service delivery and, as a result, planned (subject to approvals) capital investment at Stracathro Hospital is £10 million; this is to develop an Ambulatory Care and Diagnostic Treatment Center (ADTC). As part of the ADTC development, capital investment for 2002-03 is planned to be £585,000. Clinicians and managers at Tayside Primary Care NHS Trust have also met to discuss the service delivery implications of the Acute Services Review on Arbroath Infirmary. Future capital investment will follow from service delivery decisions to best meet the needs of the Angus population and the residents of Arbroath.The capital investment at Stracathro Hospital and Arbroath Infirmary for the last five financial years is as follows: | Stracathro Hospital(£000) | Arbroath Infirmary(£000)
2001-02 | 71 | 30
2000-01 | Nil | 16
1999-2000 | 131 | 643
