| Administrative History | Central Aberdeenshire Hospitals Board of Management came into existence at the formation of the National Health Service in 1948 under the terms of the National Health Service (Scotland) Act of 1947 (10 & 11 Geo. VI, c.27). Five Regional Hospital Boards were established to administer Scottish hospitals and under them were eighty-five local Hospital Boards of Management. Boards of Management dealt with the day-to-day running of a group of hospitals within their control and Central Aberdeenshire Hospitals Board of Management was one of the thirteen Boards of Management in the control of the North-Eastern Regional Hospital Board. It comprised Fyvie Cottage Hospital, Inverurie Infectious Diseases Hospital and Turriff Cottage Hospital. In 1964 control of Inverurie Hospital was moved to Aberdeen Special Hospitals Board of Management, and Fyvie and Turriff passed to West Aberdeenshire Board of Management. The Central Aberdeenshire Board then ceased to exist. |
