 Coldstream cottage hospital is expected to close in October |
Coldstream and Jedburgh cottage hospitals are expected to be closed by the end of October. NHS Borders has been holding talks with staff over the timetable for the closure which was agreed last week by Health Minister Andy Kerr.
The closure of the two facilities forms part of NHS Borders' �12m review of health services in the region.
It has been looking at shutting down the hospitals by the end of October and redeploying the 60 staff involved.
