IN GLASGOW’s former infectious diseases hospital, Belvidere, an interesting portion of the premises was known as the Dorcas store.
It was a large apartment which, through the kindness of a number of ladies of the city, was kept stocked with clothing for the benefit of the poorer patients, who on leaving the institution, often had little to wear.
Those working within the department thought that if they were to lower the death rate in the city, and promote health, the council needed to acquire more powers. This afforded security when an outbreak of infectious diseases took place, and dealt with cases in a hospital where the patients from the infected district would be separate from the general population. Crucially, the benefit would apply not merely to the very poor - to those who were receiving poor relief - but would extend to the whole industrial and working classes.
Initially the patients were accommodated in temporary wooden buildings. Belvidere House was demolished, and a nurse’s home was built, prior to the opening of the hospital’s permanent buildings in 1887.
