"Please put gate in"

About: Royal Bournemouth General Hospital / General medicine

It seems very strange to keep blocking the entrance to the Toby and bugger King. People often want to get away from the hospital and sit down and process imformation.

Stop doing it.

There also no way RBH should ever be the a and e unit the traffic is insane

For none medical matter 0 stars

Dear Anonymous

Thank you for your comments which I was surprised to read. Having worked here since 2006 I am aware of only one walkway from the hospital to the public footpath leading to Burger King and the Toby Carvery, and I have not known it to be closed.

I note that you attended the hospital in September and I know they were replacing the speedbumps either side of the crossing leading to the path and it is possible that during this period they may have had occasions to restrict access when laying tarmac.

I have walked the route today and confirm there is clear access all the way.

Just as an addition to your comment there are limited entry and exit points to the hospital as a matter of security both for staff and patient and these points are easily monitored by the security cameras.

With regard to the siting of the Emergency Department you may find this link of interest to you:

Thank you again for your comments and I hope this information has helped.

Regards
