NEARLY 4700 extra emergency patients could be forced to seek treatment at Glasgow's largest hospital if a controversial casualty closure goes ahead.
NHS Lanarkshire has published details of how its proposal to close an accident and emergency unit in its area would force more patients to seek treatment at Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
Socialist MSP Carolyn Leckie, a former midwife and union rep at the Royal, said: "The Royal can't cope already and that can only get worse when Glasgow cuts its own provision."
