The Midlothian Community Hospital is a community hospital in Eskbank Road, Bonnyrigg, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Lothian.[1]
History
Plans for the hospital were announced in 2005, with the facility intended to replace the continuing care elements of Loanhead geriatric and Rosslynlee psychiatric hospitals.[2] It was built by Robertson Group and opened in September 2010.[3] It has inpatient facilities alongside outpatient Clinics.
Services
The hospital has 88 staffed beds spread across 4 wards.[4] Some 40 beds are allocated to care of the elderly and 48 for elderly people with mental health issues.[5]
Controversy
In January 2018 Hospital staff refused to help a 13-year-old girl, whose mother collapsed outside the Bonnyrigg facility after getting an x-ray on her injured wrist. The scared teenager was forced to call an ambulance and only after it arrived her mother received treatment.[6]
