A CAMPAIGN group has warned casualty units in Glasgow and across Lanarkshire could be swamped if a controversial closure plan goes ahead.
Today the SNP's Alex Neil, SSP health spokeswoman Carolyn Leckie, and Gordon Martin, of the North Lanarkshire Trades Unions Council, joined forces to launch the alternative vision at a social club in Airdrie.
They are calling on the health board to retain all three Lanarkshire units - the third is at Wishaw General - and, if necessary, increase the number of patients each is able to treat.
