Open
Alas, not for much longer.
Should be open for at least another year or two
I suspect not
I work for NHS GG&C and have been told otherwise, as I recently carried out survey work there and some money will be spent on it
I too work for GGC. Day hospital and out patients are being moved out and inpatients are being moved to Stobhill. Whether the actual buildings are being utilised for something else, I don't know.
A very poor decision for the people of the east end of Glasgow.
Once the sham consultation is over it will close.
All part of the Health Boards plan to have nothing but two super sized hospitals in Glasgow, and they don't care if you can't get to either of them.

Nothing but? Are you sure about that.

But then again if you're worried about losing a facility use it.

Lightburn runs at over 97% capacity
It costs half a million a year to run it, with GGHB owning the land and buildings.
However, the new stobhill costs over 1.5 million to lease, a year.
Nothing to do with using a facility, all about some political dogma.
As for staff spread thinly, you really think that staff will be kept on in the new "super hospital"? Dream on. They want nurse practitioners running the wards with less doctor with auxiliary nurses taking bloods.

Then it'll be Labour's problem.

Could mean that all the acute Psychiatric and Medical services for the North & east of the city on one site - almost too logical!

I wonder if GRI site is big enough now, far less in 10 years time!

The old hospital is being left to rot by the powers that be.
As for a move to Stobhil for all psych amd medical services in the North, not logical at all. Public transport to the area is woeful hence the decision to keep Lightburn open.
