Progress on a dozen Scottish Hub projects stalled earlier this year while advice was sought from the Office of National Statistics about the impact of revisions to European accounting guidance.
Swinney said the ONS had now offered the view that the Scottish Future Trust’s proposed Hub model would be classified to the private sector.
“This means that I am able today to advise relevant local authorities and health boards that they can proceed to contract award with hub projects under the revised model.”
