A Lanarkshire MSP has written to the Health Secretary to ask for more help for NHS Lanarkshire after the health board re-entered ‘Code Black’.
NHS Lanarkshire declared a Code Black situation in October 2021 and was only stood down to red on May 4. It was placed back into the highest level on July 27.
University Hospitals Hairmyres, Monklands and Wishaw are all said to be operating at maximum capacity.
