Dr. Dickson MahonThe development scheme being undertaken at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary will concentrate most hospital services for the Aberdeen area on the Foresterhill site. Phase I of the scheme includes a reception area to serve the whole complex. A covered concourse will provide public cloakrooms, toilets, a cafeteria, a shop and special arrangements for children, and will be capable of catering for some 3,000 visitors a day. These facilities are expected to be available about the end of September.
