"The HSCP's commitment to providing high standards of effective care in appropriate settings is clearly demonstrated by NHSGGC's decision today.
"This will see our patients staying in modern wards that are at the very forefront of modern Mental Health in-patient accommodation."
And speaking about the Clydebank centre, Beth Culshaw, chief officer, West Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP), said: "I am delighted that the full business case has been approved. This is another major milestone for plans to build a modern, state-of-the-art health and care centre for the people of Clydebank.
"The HSCP's commitment to tackling health inequalities in areas of high deprivation and promoting social regeneration is clearly demonstrated by NHSGGC's decision today.
"The national transformation of primary care means that this project is not about a simple replacement of an existing facility. It is about taking the opportunity to create a centre where the people of Clydebank can expect to be supported by a wide range of professionals, closer to their home, and be enabled to live healthier, more independent lives."
