The Balfour is at the heart of Orkney, don't change the name just because it's moved. I believe it was named after John Balfour of Trenabie who set up a charitable foundation to start the original hospital, a part of Orkney history. It may be recent history but that is what Orkney thrives on and sells itself on, it's history.

I feel very strongly that the New build should retain the name Balfour. Not 'the new Balfour' just stick to the name local folk have always named our main health care facility
