Administrative / Biographical History

The  Glasgow Central Dispensary  opened in  1889  "...to give gratuitous advice to the sick poor...". In  1912  it moved to Richmond St where day surgery was undertaken. In  1937  an agreement was reached between the Dispensary and the nearby  Glasgow Royal Infirmary whereby the latter took over the former. The Dispensary remained in operation until  1940  when the new Out-Patients Department at the Infirmary opened
