A plaque records the gifting of a large portion of his estate to Perth Royal Infirmary by John Graham of Tippermalo, Methven in 1922. A second plaque records a similar gift by Robert Douglas in 1932 which was used to create wards in the hospital known as \u201cThe Douglas Wards\u201d. Robert Douglas, a native of Scone was a resident of Rochester, New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These gifts were donated before the advent of the National Health Service when the Infirmary must have been dependent on public benefactors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A plaque records the services of Sir Francis Norie-Miller as Chairman of the Directors of the Infirmary. Perhaps this administrative arrangement might indicate the Infirmary was run on partially business-like grounds before the creation of the NHS.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
