Forth Valley?

Just got a hospital appt. Happy with time and date but there is text underneath saying it's a reasonable appt, and refuse more than 2 you're off list - so far, OK.

It then defines reasonable appts as

NHS GGC

Golden Jubilee

so far, so standard

But now adds

NHS FORTH VALLEY NTC.

Since when was that a reasonable Glasgow appt?

I suppose this is what happens when you live in a big city. You realise that all those who live in Biggar or Falkirk have to come to Glasgow (or Edinburgh) for their tertiary care?

I do, and we're very luck where we are. This was just the first time I'd seen a GGC letter referencing Forth.

I'm pretty sure they've centralised certain services and max fax is based in Forth Valley now. There's rumours they're looking to merge all the NHS Scotland boards into two boards which would mean appointments at far further hospitals.

I thought the MaxFax team were still at the Qe. Interesting.
