Part of Scottish Executive Question Time – in the Scottish Parliament at 2:15 pm on 15 April 2010.
I met the chief executive of the SFT in the Borders to discuss the hub initiative and to discuss concerns, which have been expressed locally, that there will be no opportunity for construction companies in the Borders to bid for works in relation to NHS Borders health centre developments. I did not receive a satisfactory reply. Can the cabinet secretary confirm that, if there are health centre developments in the Borders under the hub Co initiative, local construction firms will be able to bid for works?
