HC Deb 28 June 1973 vol 858 c399W
Mr. Ian Campbell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what increase is planned in the number of beds available for geriatric patients in Dunbartonshire; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

A geriatric unit of 30 beds at Dumbarton Joint Hospital will be brought into use later this summer and building work on a geriatric unit of 96 beds and 40 day hospital places will start in August at Vale of Leven Hospital. In addition, a new geriatric unit of 60 beds at Blawarthill Hospital, Glasgow, is in the process of being commissioned; the unit will provide facilities for patients from the part of Dunbartonshire adjoining Glasgow.
