£65million to improve health centres across Scotland
First Minister Jack McConnell announced that an investment of £65million is to provide modern facilities for patients and staffs in the Scottish NHS.

Jack McConnell announced the investment as he officially opened the impressive new Bonnyrigg Health Centre in Midlothian, Scotland, He said:

"I welcome this fantastic new health centre in Bonnyrigg.

"Health Centres, pharmacies and dental surgeries are the first port of call for most Scots using their NHS. They demand and deserve excellent facilities which match their needs, so we will continue to invest in new local centres.

"But record breaking investment in the NHS must be coupled with modernisation and reform.

"We need more treatment and diagnosis at local health centres close to people's homes. This reduces costly, time consuming visits to hospital - but it delivers better, faster treatment too.

"The NHS in Scotland needs to adapt to the changing needs of this country. We need to deliver flexible services in the community - where they are most needed.

"This investment will be crucial to achieving our goal."

The £7.5 million Bonnyrigg building was funded by developers British Health Enterprise, who now own it and rent it to the NHS.

The firm will also be responsible for maintaining the building.
