Hartwood Hospital, Lanarkshire

I am trying to discover more about my grandmother, Agnes Allan, who was a patient at Hartwood Hospital in Lanarkshire from 1934 until 1989. Does anyone know whether any of the records from this hospital are available? I know that the hospital burned down in the 1990s, but have no idea what happened to any of the people or records.

Thanks in advance.

Hospital medical records are closed for 100 years. You might just find when and if a patient entered or left but you will get nothing on medical records until you are past the 100 year mark - which it seems you are not. This applies even if records of a hospital which has closed have been deposited elsewhere.

Glad to help. I gather the idea is that up to 100 years there could still be living relatives who would not want intimate information given out. Not everyhone knows this and folk waste a lot of time trying to access the inaccessible. Good luck with further searches.

It seems perfectly reasonable - I can fully understand it. I can add the information to my tree. Who knows - someone in the future may be interested enough to look it up, especially as it's a really interesting, WW1 related story. I'll write what I know and leave it for future reference. Thanks so much for taking the time to write. You've added some excellent information for me.
