Eating disorder unit opens
A NEW hospital unit for people with eating disorders was due to be opened at St John’s Hospital this morning by public health minister Michael Matheson.
The £500,000 South East Scotland Regional Eating Disorders Unit includes 12 bedrooms, a therapeutic kitchen and dining areas. It was initially due to open last summer but was delayed because, according to NHS Lothian, it was “major and complex” project.
Mr Matheson said: “This unit will provide improved access to specialist care, treatment and support for service users, their carers and families.”
