Glasgow Central Dispensary (medical clinic : 1889-1940 : Glasgow, Scotland)

The Glasgow Central Dispensary opened in 1889 "...to give gratuitous advice to the sick poor...". In 1912 it moved to Richmond St where day surgery was undertaken. In 1937 an agreement was reached between the Dispensary and the nearby Glasgow Royal Infirmary whereby the latter took over the former. The Dispensary remained in operation until 1940 when the new Out-Patients Department at the Infirmary opened
