Calls have been made for a “cast-iron guarantee” on the future of dementia wards at hospitals in Dumbarton and Alexandria.
Dumbarton MSP Jackie Baillie made the demands, after being left concerned by a letter from West Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care Partnership chief, Beth Culshaw, in which she said there are no “current” plans to close either Glenarn Ward at Dumbarton Joint Hospital or Fruin Ward at the Vale of Leven Hospital.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) say they are committed to providing inpatient care in West Dunbartonshire, but wouldn’t specify if this was at the facilities in question.
