Glasgow's Louisa Jordan hospital racks up £6m bill for laundry and security
A temporary hospital set up in Glasgow during the coronavirus pandemic will reportedly rack up a bill of £6million for laundry and security services.
The sum for the NHS Louisa Jordan hospital includes a £2.4m contract for clean bedding and a £3.5m deal with security firm G4S, the Sunday Mail reports.
However, the prior contract is with an England-based firm Elis UK Ltd without going through a competitive tendering process.
The provision of laundry and linen services has so far cost £92,988.
NHS Louisa Jordan has yet to treat a Covid-19 patient but the Scottish Government emphasised the hospital was being used for a range of services including out-patient consultations and Covid vaccinations.
