SNP Government has earmarked £6million of taxpayers’ money to laundry services and security guards for the NHS Louisa Jordan field hospital.
The eye-watering sum includes a £2.4million contract for an England-based firm to provide clean bedding for the temporary facility, which has yet to treat a single Covid-19 patient.
A Sunday Mail investigation has revealed a breakdown of the astronomical bill for the makeshift site at Glasgow’s SEC campus – which includes a £3.5million deal with security giant G4S.
The Scottish Government has insisted the hospital is delivering “significantly expanded" services including out-patient consultations, training and coronavirus vaccinations.
