Liberton Hospital is a facility for geriatric medicine on Lasswade Road in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Lothian. [1] It is scheduled to close in 2025. [2]
The hospital, which was designed by John Dick Peddie and George Washington Browne, opened in 1906. [3] [4] It operated in partnership with the Longmore Hospital and the two hospitals together became known as the Royal Edinburgh Hospital for Incurables. [5] The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948 and a new four‑storey geriatric facility was built on the site in 1963. [3]
In 2014, the health board considered proposals to demolish the hospital and three others, with a view to replacing these facilities with care villages which would consist of buildings more suited to social care. [6]
In April 2023 it was announced that Edinburgh Council had bought the hospital site and grounds from NHS Lothian for £14.8m. [2] The deal includes the former Blood Transfusion Centre, The council plans to build around 400 homes, a number of which will be accessible and for social or mid-market rent. The 1960s buildings are to be demolished and original Edwardian-era buildings redeveloped. The aim is to create an accessible neighbourhood of low-carbon housing. [7] [8]
The NHS is to occupy the premises until March 2025 to allow the hospital’s remaining services to be relocated. [2]
