Background
History
The original hospital, which was financed by a legacy from Andrew Belford and designed by Henry Burrell, opened in 1865. A prefabricated hospital for fever patients was erected in the grounds in 1893 but, after it burnt down in 1900, was replaced by a more permanent structure in 1901. Following this there were calls to work more closely with the Lorn and Islands Hospital in Oban. In 2006, following the Kerr report, the Belford was designated a rural general hospital. At the end of November 2009 the surgical and medical wards were merged to form a Combined Assessment Unit (CAU).
