London: Scottish actor Gerard Butler has thrown his weight behind a campaign to stop the closure of a children’s hospital ward in his native Scotland.

The 300 star is angry after hearing chiefs at the NHS (National Health Service) Greater Glasgow and Clyde health board are threatening to axe the kids’ ward at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley near Glasgow, Contactmusic reported.

“Various members of my family have reasons to be thankful for ward 15. For the ward to close, and for the Rah to lose the skills and jobs that would go along with it, is a blow Paisley can do without. I am happy to support this campaign in its efforts in whatever way possible,” he said. (PTI)
