Refreshments:

The Emergency Department is not set up to deliver long term care to patients. We are unable to provide a full catering service. We will provide food such as sandwiches and drinks to patients who have been in the department for extended periods of time, or who are waiting for admission, provided they are medically able to eat and drink. We do not generally provide food or drink for relatives and visitors accompanying patients. There are vending machines in the Emergency Department waiting room.
