Accomodation near the Golden Jubilee National Hospital, Clydebank

[Liz]

I am trying to help a friend find reasonably priced accommodation near to this hospital and wonder whether anyone can help?

Thanks!:)

[Nick Noble]

Liz - is that overnight accommodation, or longer term?

[Liz]

It will be for about three days Nick.

Thanks for correcting my spelling mistake. I thought it should be two m's. :) I used to pride myself on being good at spelling. :(

[Nick Noble]

I've asked the question of my friends in Clydebank, I'll pass on the answer as soon as I get it.

[Liz]

Cheers Nick! That's really kind of you and much appreciated. :)

Boulevard Hotel Complex is less than a mile away and £33 a night through laterooms.com

At the GJ, they are a hotel and if you are travelling down for an appointment/op they have set aside rooms in the hotel free of charge

It's only free of charge for three days and then costs £68 per day!

If you phone the hospitL THEY WOULD TELL YOU WHERE THE NEAREST RED CROSS accomodation is. Its usually in the grounds of the hospital. Most big hospitals have these.

[Liz]

Thanks Fran. Will check that out. :)

if a appointment that has been arrange via gp or local hospital you can claim £25 per night expenses and travel costs

[Liz]

It's for an operation an he will be an inpatient for 7-10 days. So not sure whether his wife can claim expenses?

Fran I'm afraid there isn't Red Cross accommodation. :(

I really do think it's unfair that free accommodation isn't available for longer. Surely they don't expect someone to go through such a traumatic event on their own?

I'm sure the beardmore hotel is next door, nice food I'm sureDon't recommend the boulevard as I'm sure that's the one with the attached nightclub, ha certainly was in my hey day! And it was a crazy place!!! Lol

[Fran]

If its a big op, his wife would be given free acomodation but would need a letter from gp or hospital doctor saying that she needs to escort her husband.
