My daughter has been in hospital on and off for several months. In the lead up to Christmas we marvelled at the beautiful candy cane Lane with all its balloons from Outpatients leading towards the ward and the lovely outdoor Christmas displays either side of the lane (main corridor) .
Since then a whole new installation has been installed with plants and circular seating right and left of the corridor. It's featured in promotional shots from the trust with the chief executive standing in this wonderful new space. Fantastic!...
Except it's been locked all day long, every day for the last 3 weeks (despite the promo materials for the hospital). Why on earth is anything being featured as launched with the chief exec and we can all see it through the glass, but the kids cannot avail of it night or day?
At present to get my daughter fresh air after a 3 week stay I have to take her to the front doors of the hospital and the fog of smokers and vapers who go unchallenged and unregulated on a smoke free site. Why are the doors to the heavily promoted refurbished outdoor area locked???
