I attended Craigavon Area Hospital for planned shoulder surgery in the orthopaedic ward. I have nothing but praise for the care and attention given to me by the staff in Ashley House Armagh for the pre operation checks and on the orthopaedic ward in Craigavon Area Hospital. My room was very comfortable and had all the facilities I needed. The food was lovely. All staff on the ward were very attentive and caring. Thank You
