Galloway Community Hospital closure concerns ‘without foundation’

Ways forward for the facility will be considered at the next meeting of the region’s Integration Joint Board (IJB).

Ian Carruthers, who chairs its transformation committee, said a meeting in May had shown they were “very clear” in their support for the hospital.

He said that would be reflected in any proposals put forward in September.

“Work looking at how GCH is supported is long-planned, but it appeared on our agenda at the same time as news broke of the NHS’ major financial challenges,” he added.

“This led to public concern which was perhaps understandable, but without foundation.”
