History

The hospital, which was designed as an infirmary for the Ruthin Union Workhouse, actually first saw use as convalescent home during the First World War. [1] It became an acute general hospital in the 1930s, a hospital managed by GPs in the 1950s and a community hospital in the 1980s. [1] In July 2012 the health board announced that the minor injuries unit would close and X-ray services would no longer be provided. [2]

Healthcare in Wales is mainly provided by the Welsh public health service, NHS Wales. NHS Wales provides healthcare to all permanent residents that is free at the point of need and paid for from general taxation. Health is a matter that is devolved, and considerable differences are now developing between the public healthcare systems in the different countries of the United Kingdom, collectively the National Health Service (NHS). Though the public system dominates healthcare provision, private health care and a wide variety of alternative and complementary treatments are available for those willing to pay.
