Motion · S3M-07199 · 11 Oct 2010
Closure of Lightburn Hospital
The motion
That the Parliament notes with concern the proposed closure of Lightburn Hospital in the east end of Glasgow and the relocation of services to both the Glasgow Royal Infirmary and Stobhill Hospital; considers that this proposal will cause difficulties for many people in the wider east end of Glasgow who rely on this local healthcare facility, resulting in lengthy journeys by often unsuitable public transport; believes that local rehabilitation healthcare facilities are important in ensuring a more effective recovery, and considers this a reversal of the Scottish Government’s policy presumption against centralisation.
