Ashford Hospital

Today I attended the official re-opening of four of the wards at my local Ashford Hospital, following their complete refurbishment.
A total of £850,000 has been spent upgrading the Chaucer, Dickens, Fielding and Wordsworth wards. The principal benefit has been the elimination of mixed sex accommodation -- and each bay can be alternated from all-male to all-female “overnight” if need be.
All rooms now have en suite facilities and meet all the very latest infection control guidelines. Also there is now adequate provision for bariatric patients (those over 18 stone).
In summary these improvements guarantee Ashford Hospital’s future in our community for some considerable time.
