The Full Business Case for the Airdrie Resource Centre was approved by the Scottish Government on 27 January 2010. NHS Lanarkshire is currently developing a detailed programme which will establish the timeframes for both the demolition work and construction work involved in delivering the new health centre. The board expect to have the this information available within the next two weeks.

NHS Lanarkshire is actively considering the development of the Initial Agreement for the redevelopment of Monklands. The board is already committed to spending £15 million over the next three years to improve Monklands Hospital infrastructure.

The new Airdrie health centre is expected to be open in early 2012.

The 2010-11 Capital allocations for all NHS boards will be announced by the end of February 2010.

The review of national child protection guidance aims to meet the needs of all Scotland''s at-risk children, including those with disabilities. The review started its work in February 2009, and one of its two workstreams is taking forward a piece of work around the needs and rights of children with disabilities. The review will receive input on current research on the protection of children with disabilities. In addition, the Scottish Child Care and Protection Network (SCCPN), a national research network, is represented on the review group and helps to ensure that it is fully informed by relevant research.

The national care standards set out what young people can expect from care services including secure care. They aim to ensure a consistent standard of service provision and are underpinned by a set of values care providers are expected to adopt.

The Care Commission is responsible for regulation of secure units and has enforcement powers which it can use where services fail to meet the requirements set out in the legislation and the national care standards.

Some secure care services have clearly designated quiet rooms. However, it would not be appropriate or practical for all services to have them. Where time out is necessary, existing rooms “ including young people''s bedrooms “ can be used for this purpose. The Care Commission monitors the use of time out during inspections.
