"What a disgrace"

About: Princess Royal University Hospital / Urology

My father has been under this hospital for the last 2 years and has had 5 admissions. Each one has been a horror story with something happening out of our control .

At the present they have an outbreak of Novovirus and are withholding all the patients visiting rights. This has been reported as the third time this year something is wrong. When questioned all you are told is visitors are bringing it in. That's utter rubbish otherwise other hospitals would have the same problems and I'm sure if they do they are handled differently. It's about time the management wake up and address the problem. Care and wellbeing also includes looking after patients social needs and locking them away to the outside world is not doing that.

I am sorry that the closure of wards at the PRUH has caused you distress.

We have to take every precaution when there are outbreaks of Norvirus and are very sorry for the inconvenience caused but we have to make patient safety a priority.

We know this has been a difficult time for patients and their loved ones, but thank you for your patience and for helping us control the spread of Norovirus.
