I had an appointment at this hospital on the 24th January 2014 and was disgusted that i had to walk past many people smoking right outside the main entrance door, i even had to push my way past them as they were crowding the door as it was raining, after attending my appointment i had to wait for my friend to collect me for the main entrance and had to come back inside the hospital as there were still loads of smokers standing right next to the door and the smell was horrible. Many people complained about the smell and not one member of staff approached these smokers to ask them to leave or put out the cigarettes. This needs to be sorted ASAP as it is unfair to all other patients, visitors and staff who don't want to breathe in secondary smoke.
