Hospital not closed edit

The hospital is not closed, despite what is written here. A cursory glance online at both NHS and Scottish Government sources shows that the hospital still operates as a low-security mental health unit. Page is currently misleading. 2A02:C7D:148:4000:5860:1B02:9049:5B70 (talk) 12:48, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Please re-read the article - it says "Although some services remained on site, the hospital effectively closed in 1997". I am not sure how that is misleading: if you are saying the main part of the hospital did not close in 1997 please provide a citation for that. Dormskirk (talk) 13:20, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

If you view the NHS Forth Valley webpage (the NHS Board for this hospital), at https://nhsforthvalley.com/hospitals/bellsdyke-hospital/ , you see that it still refers to the site as Bellsdyke Hospital, comprising three mental health units. Similarly, a cursory search of Scottish Government documents (gov.scot domain) repeatedly mentions the hospital by name as a mental health facility. There seems to be a missing element here: it may be the hospital closed in 1997 (supported by demolishing buildings), but here we have 'the hospital' up and running again, albeit this may be a slight change of use. Slight, as it was a psychiatric hospital to begin with. 2A02:C7D:148:4000:4CF8:8304:84A2:4DE9 (talk) 12:13, 27 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Google street view shows some modern units on the site under the names of Trystview and Trustpark. The NHS website says that Trystview is a 20 bed unit and Trystpark is a 18 bed rehabilitation unit. This cannot be compared with the huge facility that used to be on the site. I would suggest that we amend the wording to read "The main hospital effectively closed in 1997. Most of the buildings were demolished in the early 2000s and two modern units named "Trustview" and "Trustpark" were subsequently established on the site".
