Apparently they cost over 540Million and treated just 54 patients....
Meantime in Scotland /Glasgow our nightingale hospital did this
From another site in response to the author ( who is putting her statement everywhere and ignoring responses)-
‘Scotlands Nightingale hospital was very well used during the pandemic. It was called the Louisa Jordan. It was a step down unit for recovering patients and also saw outpatients taking strain off other hospitals. " The hospital played a crucial role in supporting the remobilisation of NHS Scotland, carrying out over 32,000 healthcare appointments, and training more than 6,900 healthcare staff and students. Additionally, the site supported the Scottish Blood Transfusion Service, providing facilities for more than 500 donations to be made.
The NHS Louisa Jordan site will have also undertaken over 370,000 vaccines to members of the public as well as health and social care staff." So in Scotland there should be no need to answer anything.’

I'm about as far from Scotland in England as you can get, but our Nightingale Hospital is a Diagnostic Centre - that's CT, MRI, X-ray, Ultrasound etc. Also, an orthopaedic Centre for hip and knees ops, a Centre of Excellence for Eyes, including cataracts and glaucoma procedures. In addition, early this summer around 10 new consulting rooms were opened for cardiac, gynae, gastro, skin consultations. So not just in Scotland.

This is all a few years ago now, it closed in March 2021, why are you raising it?
I suggest you read about the Nightingale Hospital in Exeter, still in use today and fully integrated into the NHS, many hundreds have been and are being treated.

Simply because there’s some eegits line decrying the Louisa Jordan and the Scottish government…of course now we have a Tory/sorry red Tory government they may realise what we did have before they cast their vote .Laboaur did nothing for Scotland for decades ,looks like they intend the same again..WE produce enough energy to power 13 million homes in a country of 5 million yet our fuel prices are the highest in the Uk and it’s the coldest area.The WFA being taken from the poorest is for some the eye opener ….we NEEDIndependence

Mind when the SNP were saying the GE would be a vote for independence - Sturgeon even said she was going to campaign on that stance.
So given the SNP were hammered in the GE surely that's a resounding no to independence.
I'm not necessarily anti Scottish Independence but I am anti the ridiculous way the SNP have run Scotland fuelled by parochialism, political ego and bribery.
