Description
In December we opened the first Scottish Heart and Lung Transplant Unit at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary which will be of enormous benefit to the country as a whole. It is hoped we can encourage more people to donate organs which can give life - or sight - to many who await these wonderful opportunities in deep hope. Major achievements in health care include the partnership development for the Care of the Elderly in Rutherglen and the new splendid village centre at Lennox Castle hospital which constitutes a vast environmental improvement for our mentally handicapped residents. Three new, purpose-built wards for elderly mentally ill at Gartnavel Royal Hospital were opened which together with a similar development at Ruchill Hospital now offer high quality, comfortable and homely accommodation for a total of 180 residents.
