 * Support, as original creator of the article (converted from a redirect). I've reassured myself that the article was correctly named when created, and have added an archived link to the old title. Care needed with hatnotes to help every reader get where they want between Scarborough Health Network ("formerly The Scarborough Hospital ") and its Scarborough General Hospital (Toronto), as well as Scarborough General Hospital, Tobago.

Hospital Name
Scarborough 'General', is now referred to as just Scarborough Hospital. In relatively recent times it was known (particularly by the NHS staff themselves) as Scarborough General, though not by the public. This was to distinguish the 'General' from other hospital site's in town, these being the now defunct St. Mary's & farther back, St. Thomas's. Cross Lane Hospital is still in existence & is about just over a mile from the Scalby Road 'General' site. Cross Lane Hospital is now a Mental Health facility & seemingly run by a different health trust? Historically the name is correct, it's just a debate whether changes over time mean that Scarborough Hospital, as it is now known by the considerable majority of people, is how the page should be titled? I'm not aware of any confusion which may arise from the current heading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nix D (talk • contribs) 19:13, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
