• Engie costs have been returned for 2 of the Clinical Skills rooms and authority to proceed has been given for these. 

Issues

• The appointment of the main building contractor for the Western General Hospital Medical Education Centre hasn't taken place yet, so concern is being raised as to when the work will start and when the refurbishment will be complete.  The timeline is set for completion handover back to the University on Friday 23rd August and teaching begins again on Monday 26th August, so there is no leeway.
• Still waiting for engie costs to be returned for 5 rooms.
