Cost doubles for proposed NI health hub that was ‘prioritised' by Stormont in 2018
£5m already spent on project before sod has been cut
The cost of a proposed state-of-the-art health and community care hub at an old army base in Derry has doubled in cost, with the department saying it is down to 'the passage of time and inflation'.
A Freedom of Information (FoI) response obtained by this newspaper shows that the Western Health Trust submitted a major capital bid for the Cityside Health and Care Centre at Fort George as part of the Department of Health's (DoH) 'Capital Priorities Exercise' in 2018.

What MSPs tried to expense – and why Parliament said no
However, the identities of the MSPs involved and the amount they attempted to claim have not been revealed. Parliament officials said as this information was not required under their financial procedures, it was not held and therefore not releasable under FOI. READ MORE Rejected claims included several travel expenses related to party-political activity — including an interview with STV and party spokesperson events. One Scottish Government minister also attempted to claim travel expenses for attending a ministerial event, even though Holyrood expenses can only be claimed for duties carried out in Parliament or for assisting constituents. Other unsuccessful claims included a subscription X, which the Holyrood authorities said was "political." Bids to reclaim the cost of a party newsletter, and festive greeting cards were also turned down. Politicians had to pick up their own food and drink bills too, with MSPs turned down for reimbursement for tea and coffee, and lunch at a 'team day.' Meanwhile, one MSP was knocked back in their attempt to claim for the cost of picture frames so they could display motions for constituents. Another failed to have the cost of garden plant canes reimbursed on the basis there was no provision for it in the scheme. A spokesperson for the Scottish Parliament said: 'MSPs are reimbursed for costs incurred in carrying out their parliamentary duties. Party political-related costs and sundry items such as Christmas cards are not, however, covered by the scheme.' Last year it emerged that the amount claimed in expenses by MSPs had soared by nearly £2 million in a year. Figures released by the Scottish Parliament show expenses for the 2023/24 financial year reached £25.35 million, up by £1.89 million — 8% — on 2022/23. Some £20.6 million (81%) of the money was used to cover staff costs at MSPs' parliamentary and constituency offices. The rest was used on the costs of running an office, travel and accommodation, among other things. The party leaders' allowance ballooned by 63% to £46,012 – up from £28,220 the year before. It is the second consecutive year the figure has nearly doubled. In 2021/22, the leaders' allowance was just £11,510, although it was £38,778 in 2020/21 and £36,873 in 2019/20. Earlier this month, the *Daily Mail* revealed a string of similar rejections at Westminster, with claims for luxury homewares, meals and even flowers knocked back. Unlike in Holyrood, the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) revealed names and costs. Labour MP Sean Woodcock attempted to claim £216 for duvets, Egyptian cotton towels and shower cream from Marks & Spencer, but was told the expenses watchdog does not permit furnishings or home goods. Another Labour MP, Dr Simon Opher, had a £46 claim for flowers rejected, while Gill Furniss submitted £210 for a gaming desk and office chair — also refused. Luke Myer tried to claim £155 for a three-door wardrobe to store stationery, but was told IPSA rules only allow furniture for constituency offices. Chris Webb, who won a by-election in Blackpool South last year, submitted a £2,100 claim for videography services, and Anna Turley sought £500 for speechwriting support — both rejected. LibDem MP Lee Dillon was turned down after trying to charge £204.95 for a Christmas meal for his team, including steak, scallops and pudding. Former SNP MP Steven Bonnar sought £5,160 for a staff training course more than two months after losing his seat — a claim also rejected. He told the paper: 'As you'd expect, I was keen that my staff got whatever support they could during the post-election period prior to the closure of my office and the end of their employment. In this one instance, a request was turned down, which I have no issue with.'

NHS Forth Valley says it can reduce FOI backlog and stop enforcement action
Local health board wants assurances that all departments will play their part in responding to FOI requests. NHS Forth Valley's board has been assured that the local health service will be able to tackle a backlog of FOI requests to stop the threat of enforcement action by the Scottish Information Commissioner. As a public body, NHS Forth Valley has an obligation to respond to Freedom of Information requests within 20 days but it has faced a persistent backlog since 2022. The information commissioner, David Hamilton, raised his concerns in November 2023 and again the following year and in recent months his team have been meeting regularly with NHS Forth Valley. The board heard that efforts have been made to get back on track, which included taking on additional staff and getting temporary support. However, NHS Forth Valley has not been able to sustain the improvements needed and earlier this month, the commissioner escalated his concerns to level three, which means he considers that there is "serious systemic practice failure". Mr Hamilton wrote to chief executive Ross McGuffie, highlighting his concerns about the lack of progress and outlining specific targets and timescales for NHS Forth Valley to meet. The Commissioner wants to see: • An average of 80 per cent of all requests to be responded to within 20 working days by the end of September. • An average of more than 90 per cent of all requests to be responded to within 20 working days by the end of December. If NHS Forth Valley fails to meet these targets, enforcement action will be taken. A report to the health board this week said it is "fully recognised that the Board's performance in responding to FOI enquiries is not where it needs to be and efforts continue to improve local response times and reduce delays". However, members were assured that steps have already been taken to respond to the demand for action and NHS Forth Valley is in dialogue with the commissioner's office. The board heard that the team responsible for responding to Freedom of Information requests now has two new members of staff, who started this month, taking the total number of staff to four. Members heard that the backlog, which was reported to the meeting as 202 overdue requests, is steadily reducing and that should become quicker as the new staff settle in. The commissioner is also expecting to see an improvement in how internal reviews - when a requester asks an authority to review its handling of their information request - are handled. At the time the report was written, there were 12 open internal reviews, 11 of which are overdue. These are an important step in the appeals process and the commissioner wants 90 per cent of all reviews to be responded to within 20 working days by end of September. However, the report highlighted that improvements are needed across the whole organisation and all departments will have a responsibility to provide the FOI team with requested information quickly. Several board members asked for assurances that departments have the capacity to support the response, especially given how tight the timetable is. Sarah Hughes-Jones, Head of Information Governance, told members that she was confident that departments are now being supported to respond to requests and that the new arrangements will allow them to meet the commissioner's targets. Andrew Murray, medical director, added that the senior leadership team would take responsibility to monitor the situation and make sure that the necessary improvements are delivered.

Spanish holiday destination under investigation after eight people struck down by food poisoning
The Canary Islands have issued an alert saying eight people have been struck down by food poisoning in the popular Spanish holiday destination A beloved holiday hotspot for British travellers has been struck by a severe health scare, prompting authorities to issue an urgent warning. The Canary Islands have raised the alarm after eight individuals were affected by the outbreak. Officials from the Canary Islands Government's Department of Health have released a statement confirming that both the La Palma Health Area Directorate and the Canary Islands Health Service (SCS) Directorate-General for Public Health are "investigating a case of food poisoning on the island that has so far affected eight people". The food-related illness, triggered by eating fish bought from unofficial suppliers outside regular distribution networks, has impacted eight individuals, with one person requiring hospital treatment at the University Hospital of La Palma. Public health chiefs have launched their emergency procedures, begun the necessary epidemiological investigation, and are maintaining surveillance for any additional cases that might emerge, reports the Liverpool Echo. Both the La Palma Health Area Directorate and the Canary Islands Health Service (SCS) Directorate General of Public Health, operating under the Department of Health, are conducting the inquiry. The initial cases of this food-borne disease were identified on Tuesday July 22, just two hours following consumption of the tainted product. Those affected received medical attention at the Emergency Service of the Los Llanos de Aridane Health Centre, where staff immediately implemented food poisoning protocols upon suspicion of contamination. Tests conducted identified histamine contamination as the likely cause of the poisoning. Common symptoms of this type of poisoning include a burning or itching sensation in the tongue and throat, a peppery taste in the mouth, facial and neck redness and swelling, hot flushes, hives on the palms, face, head and ears, headaches and dizziness, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. Officials have urged holidaymakers to verify the source of fish before consuming it. The Canary Islands are a part of Spain. In 2023, Spain reported 35 outbreaks of histamine poisoning affecting 275 individuals, with one major incident involving 154 patients. Typically, symptoms appear within an hour of consumption. Histamine production is often linked to improper food handling, particularly incorrect storage temperatures. Once formed, histamine cannot be eradicated by standard cooking or freezing temperatures.
