A new MRI building has been held up for the second week running due to transport issues. NHS Shetland had expected to receive delivery of the modular sections, which will form the bespoke building, this week. However, the health board said today (Monday) that the work would not go ahead because of ferry cancellations and poor weather forecast for later in the week. The delivery had initially been scheduled for last week – but this was also rescheduled due to ferry issues. Philips Medical Systems was awarded the £3.5m contract to provide the scanner and the bespoke building to host it last April.
