A REVIEW of collapse-risk concrete in Scottish schools will take “some months”, the First Minister has said.
’s Sunday Show, Wellbeing Economy Secretary Neil Gray said: “At the moment, there is no immediate risk to people using these buildings and that is why we continue to support our local authority partners, NHS boards and others, that have Raac in their buildings to ensure that remains the case, and if there are issues to be resolved, that mitigations are taken to ensure people’s safety.”“So far, in Scotland, there are many questions but far too few answers,” she said.
“In the absence of hard, detailed information about the risk assessments already undertaken then blithe reassurance is a recipe for confusion and uncertainty.“The Scottish Government,authorities, the NHS and every other public body must act with transparency and urgency to detail what checks have been made and what risks have been found.”
“Across Scotland we are finding more and more examples of this potentially dangerous concrete in use,” he said. “Many of these colleges and universities have taken precautions to reduce the risk but with new evidence from England suggesting that even sites previously deemed safe can catastrophically collapse, it is time for the Scottish Government to come up with a proper plan of action for resolving this issue for good.
