Public Consultation On Mental Health Services In Glasgow
A public consultation is being held this week on planned changes to mental health services in the Glasgow area.
On Wednesday June 25th, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is holding a public meeting to discuss proposals to remove services from the Vale of Leven Hospital and transfer them to Glasgow’s Gartnavel Royal Hospital.The Helensburgh Advertiser reports that the meeting will take place in the Victoria Halls in the town.Vivien Dance, campaigner against the service changes, told the newspaper: “The longer this goes on then the more stress and uncertainty this generates for patients and staff.
“It is time for a firm line from the cabinet secretary when we are dealing with senior members of the Board who treat the Vale with such contempt to openly call it irrelevant,” she added. The new Gartnavel Royal Hospital has recently been given a ï¿¡19 million makeover.NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde claims that the new site has made the city a “centre of excellence in the delivery of mental health care“.
