Ok,,it's a new hospital,but Orcadians want to keep the name and what it represents. Have respect for people's wishes.

It's part of the identity of Orkney. Changing the name is unnecessary and it undermines what the Balfour offered when it first opened all those years ago. The name should be celebrated, not binned.

Another idea that'll cause unnecessary money frittering from the health service

If a name is good for over a hundred years who is daft enough to want to change it?

Why would anyone think of changing the name from Balfour Hospital? It will always be known as Balfour Hospital anyway.

Totally nonsensical and a complete waste of resources - just spend the money on improving the health care in Orkney
