History
The facility has its origins in the Ballycastle Union Workhouse which was designed by George Wilkinson and was completed in October 1842.[1] It became Dalriada District Hospital in 1924 and, after joining the National Health Service in 1948, became known as Dalriada Hospital.[2] After the Trust announced the closure of the multiple sclerosis respite unit at the hospital,[3] campaigners won a reprieve in the High Court in December 2014.[4]
