Ayr Hospital is a General Hospital on the outskirts of Ayr. The hospital opened in 1991 following the closure of three Ayr hospitals: Heathfield (medical), Seafield (paediatric) and Ayr County (surgical). The Hospital site was built next to the mental hospital, Ailsa Hospital. Ayr hospital is operated by NHS Ayrshire and Arran and covers a catchment area of approx. 100,000 people including the town of Ayr, Prestwick, Troon, Girvan and Maybole. The hospital has come under public spotlight after the A&E was due to close and services transferred to Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock.
