Hospitals and other NHS buildings in Scotland are having to cope with a £1bn bill for repairs going back several years, a report has revealed.
The report said 69% of the NHS estate was in good physical condition.
The government-published State of the Estate warns that a maintenance backlog has left some buildings in poor condition. Health officials say £300m of funding and the disposal of old buildings will halve the outstanding bill.
