To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the national survey programme of the NHS estate to identify the use of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete in NHS buildings, including the number of buildings at risk and their location.

The answer

Answered by Michael Matheson on 4 Oct 2023 · 20 days after it was lodged, 1 day after it was due

I refer the member to the answer to question S6W-19366 on 21 July 2023 in relation to the desktop review and a full list of the 254 properties identified as having two or more characteristics consistent with the presence of RAAC was placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (Bib. Number 64387). NHS Scotland Assure also published the information on their website on 15 September.
An update on progress with the national survey programme, including the list of NHS buildings where RAAC is identified, will also be published by NHS Scotland Assure.
All NHS Boards have a dedicated RAAC webpage noting their current position with RAAC in their Estate.
As of 2 October, 114 NHS properties had been physically surveyed as part of the national programme.
