He was shown around the hospital and spoke to staff and clients alike. Head nurse Lorna Macdougall said: "I very much enjoyed meeting Roy Hattersley and showing him around Victoria hospital. He was interested in The Blue Cross, our work, and in particular how important we feel the human-animal bond to be."
