A South Kintyre councillor has said that it is ‘totally unacceptable’ that he found out about a reduction in beds at Campbeltown Hospital by reading last week’s Courier.
Councillor Donald Kelly said: ‘As a local elected member I find this totally unacceptable and have since made my own inquiries.
‘The current position is that four beds have been removed from the ward on a temporary basis and the usage of the remaining 15 will be monitored until the end of March to determine if the hospital can operate with just 15.’
