Abstract
The aim of this paper is to outline how and why a private-sector, purpose-built hospital designed to attract overseas medical tourists to Glasgow in the early 1990s, did develop into a centre of medical excellence - but one wholly owned and managed by the National Health Service Scotland (NHS Scotland), as a Special Health Board Hospital and not as a centre for medical tourism.
