Call me simple but surely the contractors who failed to engage adequate drainage or the designers who failed to incorporate adequate drainage are liable? They carry insurance, why should the NHS lose hundreds of millions?

Its not a problem that's unique to Scotland. Here in Australia both Adelaide and Perth have have brand new hospitals built that had big problems.

The Perth Childrens hospital had excessive lead in the water supply (dodgy chinese fittings), aesbestos in the ceiling tiles (dodgy chinese tiles), fire doors that didnt meet the required standard (dodgy Chinese doors) and a raft of other smaller issues.

All of these were eventually fixed by the contractor and the place is now a wonderful, modern facility.

who built them ?
