Assessor for Central Scotland
|
The Assessor for Central Scotland was set up in 1996 following local government re-organisation. Under the Local Government (Scotland) etc 1994, local authorities are required to appoint an assessor for valuation purposes. Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannan all appointed the previous Central Region Assessor to continue the same function. The Assessor is also responsible for compiling the electoral roll for the Falkirk Council area. Valuation Rolls were first compiled in 1855 as a result of the Lands Valuation (Scotland) Act 1854. Valuation Rolls were produced annually from 1855 to 1988. Separate rolls were compiled for burghs and for counties. Parochial boards also compiled assessment rolls. They were used to establish the rateable value of property which provided the basis for local taxation and assessments on local services. Following local government re-organisation, valuation rolls became the responsibility of Regional Councils. The valuation system was abolished in 1989 and replaced by the Community Charge. For valuation rolls prior to 1974 see the appropriate Burgh or Parish.

After a decade of local fund-raising, Falkirk & District Royal Infirmary at Major's Loan was opened to patients in 1931, replacing Falkirk Cottage Hospital. It was officially opened by HRH Prince George (subsequently Duke of Kent) in 1932. It was taken over by the National Health Service following the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1947.
In August 2012 Acute Services from FDRI were transferred to the new Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert. The former FDRI was re-named Falkirk Community Hospital and from 2012 it has provided a wide range of out-patient services including dental, speech and language therapy, ophthalmology, dietetics, sexual heath and family planning, mental health, podiatry and psychological services. It also provides in-patient services for people requiring rehabilitation, palliative and complex care. |
