Other information
In 1836 the need for medical provision for the poor in Arbroath was so great that a dispensary was set up by public subscription and run by local medical practitioners. Following the 842 typhus epidemic, an in-patient service, a small fever ward, was set up, and from 1843 subscriptions were raised to develop this into an infirmary. With the aid of donations from subscriber and Lord Panmure the new infirmary opendd in 1845 to provide both in and out patient care,. By 1913 it was becoming overcrowded and in 1916 it moved to a new building on a new site, further extended in 1961 with the addition of the 'Queen Mother' Maternity Wing. It was absorbed by the Eastern Region Hospital Board at the inception of the NHS in 1947.
