I just have seen a handwritten and garbled notice in a shop window which announces some sort of meeting tonight at the Pentland Hotel about a planned closure of the Dunbar Hospital in Thurso.
I have discussed before the scaling back of A&E cover at this hospital, but cannot find anything in the news record about a complete closure. Even though NHS Highland funds bogus services such as homeopathy – which elicited a rare moment of embarassment when it emerged that one of the homeopaths was providing alternative MMR ‘vaccines’ – I hope even it would not be so crass to close the entire hospital.
The announcement of this meeting is extreme short notice, but I do not think I would have gone based on the information provided.
