The new measures relate to visitor restrictions at the hospital and take immediate effect
Women admitted for induction of labour or in labour can have one nominated visitor, for all other inpatients, including Antenatal and Postnatal inpatients no visitors will be allowed
For patients in the newborn intensive care unit only one parent only is allowed attend
For outpatients, only the women attending the appointment will be allowed - - No partners, children or companions
This is in the interest of patient care and in order to prevent the spread of infections within the hospital. The situation will be reviewed on a daily basis.
