Edinburgh's eye hospital to reopen by end of June

by Jack

Edinburgh's eye hospital will fully reopen by the end of June following urgent repairs, health bosses have said.

The Princess Alexandra Eye Pavilion closed on 28 October for two leaking copper waste pipes to be repaired and asbestos removed from the building.

A phased return to the Chalmers Street building will begin on 19 May with services expected to be back in place six weeks later.

Inpatient services and day surgery appointments were moved to St John's Hospital in Livingston during the closure, while emergency ophthalmology care was treated at a temporary home in the nearby Lauriston Building.
