I was referred a few weeks ago the hydrotherapy pool but told today by my physiotherapist that I would not be receiving my treatment there, due to the forthcoming plans that are in the pipeline at the B.G.H. I'm very disappointed to say the least!!!!!

They want to close the hydrotherapy pool, it's in the way! ... That's shocking!
This valuable asset, if lost will have a detrimental effect on people's well-being.
It will effect people's mental health, they'll be less able to do things for themselves, stuck at home relying on painkillers to alleviate the pain.
The Government want people working, not off sick claiming benefits. The hydrotherapy pool is an aid in helping people returning to work and giving people meaningful lives to lead.
It will be false economy in the long run, the powers that be need to go back to the drawing board and find a way round keeping the hydrotherapy pool in situ and make good use of £2.2 million towards the proposed drastic redevelopment of the B.G.H. for all who rely on N.H.S. Borders.
