In 2005/06, we carried out over 2,500 cataract procedures, which represents about 10% of all cataract operations undertaken by NHSScotland. The same year we carried out 11% of all hip and knee joint replacement operations undertaken by NHS Scotland.

In 2007, we will be bringing two previously unused theatres into commission - ensuring we can carry out even more orthopaedic surgery than ever before.

The West of Scotland Regional Heart and Lung Centre will also be opening at the Golden Jubilee National Hospital in 2007.
