VISITING RESTRICTIONS
Due to the ongoing situation with COVID-19 in the community, all visits to
patients have been suspended with immediate effect.
This decision has been taken in the interest of patient safety and staff
safety, which remains our primary concern.
DROP OFF AND PICK UP
Patients attending for admission or out patient appointments should only
be dropped off and collected. Children are not permitted unless attending
as a patient.
Those requiring assistance may be accompanied by one person.
We thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
At this time, we must all work together in the national interest.
