NHS Scotland Assure and partners are actively assessing NHS Scotland properties suspected to contain reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC).

A scope of works has been developed with a RAAC specialist and a survey partner has completed a desktop review of all properties. This review is being used to prioritise and inform the approach to discovery surveys.

Completion of the discovery surveys will provide information on any remedial works required and estimated costs.
