BOC Healthcare, reportedly the UK’s largest medical gases business, has made its first delivery of compressed medical gas to NHS hospitals in Scotland (to the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary), marking the start of its new contract to supply medical gases to over 330 customers, from Shetland down to the Scottish Borders.
The four-year agreement covers the supply of all medical gases cylinders to 144 Scottish hospitals, and a number of communitybased health centres, in Scotland’s 14 Health Boards.
