A few weeks ago, I kicked off this page by stating that you didn’t need a stethoscope to diagnose that NHS Ayrshire and Arran was a very sick patient.
As a result, my email inbox began to hyperventilate. The overall prognosis was that if NHS Ayrshire was sick, then Ayr Hospital itself was dangerously ill . . . perhaps even terminally if the cuts to its services continued untreated.
I was warned that Ayr Hospital is set to become a “cold/day case centre”, losing its acute surgical services, its Intensive Care Unit and eventually its Accident and Emergency services.
