Health chiefs are set to open a mobile unit in a hospital car park - to clear a backlog of patients waiting for procedures which can detect stomach and bowel cancers.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde has applied to the council for permission of a temporary facility at Gartnavel Royal Hospital that will carry out endoscopies.
Planning documents state the unit may be required for up to three years and is needed to address the current backlog of investigative procedures.
NHSGGC said clinics were continuing to run but with lower patient numbers due to continuing covid infection control requirements.
