History
The facility has its origins in the Campbeltown Cottage Hospital which was opened on Witchburn Road in 1896.[1] The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948 but, after the cottage hospital became decrepit, services transferred a modern facility in Ralston Road in the early 1990s.[1] The number of beds was reduced from 19 to 15 in January 2019.[2][3]
