Dear Linda We offer you and your family our sincere condolences on the sad loss of your sister Hazel. Losing a much loved family member is always difficult but knowing that they were so well cared for in their final days can offer reassurance that their passing was made as dignified and comfortable as possible. The staff on both CDU and Oak Ward have been notified of your very kind words. With kindest regards The Communication Team Darent Valley Hospital
