Falkirk Cottage Hospital
|
Falkirk Cottage Hospital was set up in 1889 on Thornhill Road under the Public Health (Scotland) Act 1867 which gave powers to town councils, police commissioners and parochial boards to erect hospitals, regulate lodging houses and combat diseases. Harriet Gibson, wife of J E Gibson of Salton Iron Works was the driving force behind the founding of the hospital. In 1904 the Board of Managers of the hospital decided to re-name it Falkirk Infirmary. Although the Infirmary expanded considerably over the next decade, by the 1920s it was clear that the accommodation was too small to meet demand and fund-raising took place to build a new Infirmary.
Falkirk Infirmary was closed in 1932 following the opening of Falkirk & District Royal Infirmary. |

Falkirk & District Royal Infirmary
|
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. |
