Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown backs campaign to get Scottish Government to fund a new eye hospital to replace the current not-fit-for-purpose Eye Pavilion
Transcript
00:00 I've been a patient at the Princess Alexandra Eye Pavilion for all the 50 years it's been in operation
00:07 and I, like thousands of others, are incredibly grateful for the care and attention that I've received on so many different occasions.
00:15 It would be a tragedy if the pavilion was lost to Edinburgh, but we do need a new building and we do need new facilities
00:23 and it's urgent for people with eye disease and eye complaints that this new facility be created.
