Plea after patient data find
CALLS have been made for all abandoned Scottish hospital buildings to be examined, after private patient data was found at a disused site.
X-rays marked with patients' names, photographs and other paperwork were found at the derelict Law Hospital in Carluke. NHS Lanarkshire says it is investigating.
The finding came to light after Gary Whittle, an amateur photographer, took shots inside the hospital.
The latest discovery comes only months after records were found at a disused hospital in Dundee.
Labour and the Liberal Democrats said such derelict sites should be examined to prevent such an incident happening again.
