To ask the Scottish Government how much in total has been spent on national treatment centres to date, broken down by (a) centre and (b) costs involved.
We are currently working with all health boards to develop an NHS whole system infrastructure plan for Scotland. This will support continued safe and effective use of existing facilities as well as informing future investment priorities based on assessment of need across the whole of Scotland.
The cost incurred to date in relation to the planned National Treatment Centre in NHS Ayrshire and Arran, NHS Grampian, NHS Lanarkshire, NHS Lothian and NHS Tayside, the figure for NTCs in the planning stage, has not changed since the response to S6W-41671 was issued on 18 November 2025.
See following table for capital allocations provided by SG in relation to NTC projects including phase 1 & 2 of Golden Jubilee (24-25 year ended):
Board | Cost incurred to date on National Treatment Centre |
Fife | £33,450,000 |
Golden Jubilee Phase 1 & 2 | £89,515,557 |
Highland | £46,054,084 |
Total | £169,019,641 |

There is an ongoing dispute with the contractor over final works required to bring the facility into appropriate condition for operational service. The final costs remain a point of negotiation.
