Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
Gartnavel General Hospital was designed as a variant of the Scottish District General Hospital ‘model’ and opened in 1973 . At a late stage in the construction in-patient facilities for ophthalmology were added, following a fire in 1971 which destroyed much of the Glasgow Eye Infirmary. Management of the hospital was vested in the Glasgow Western and Gartnavel Hospitals Board of Management until National Health Service reorganisation in 1974 when it transferred to the Western District of the Greater Glasgow Health Board. In 1993 responsibility passed to the West Glasgow Hospitals University National Health Service Trust. Originally the hospital contained 576 beds housed in a 8-storey ward block located on top of a 3-storey podium. Residential accommodation for 330 staff and students was provided in 15 adjacent blocks. Additional accommodation for communicable disease medicine was built at Gartnavel in 1998.
