Other information
Developed from a 'dispensary for women and children' set up in the 1890s for the treatment of women by female doctors, the first medical officers being Dr E C Thomson and Dr A M Moorhead. In May 1897 a small hospital was set up in Seafield Road to provide surgical care at low cost. When the NHS came into effect the hospital unsuccessfully petitioned the Secretary of State to remain operating as a private charitable concern.
