No idea. BUT..you know where we are if you need to be up here, more than welcome to stay.

It is fairly new. About 2 yr old so I suppose designed to be easy cleaned. But as always it is down to the staff. If you need a room whilst visiting, you are welcome. We are about 7 miles away.

Hope you dad gets better

I was born in the old one!

Hope your Dad gets better soon, I'm not a million miles away from Tim, and the offer is open here too.

You;ll not be stuck for meals then DT...

Hope your old man is ok, and that they found his teeth.

I visit there, professionally, pretty much every month, sometimes several times a month. Ten years ago I wouldn't want to be in there for anything but recent years has seen huge improvements in pretty much every aspect of the place.

The new buildings, bought through pfi, also included huge expenditure on modern equipment. Typically, having a bright, new, hospital superbly kitted out has given everyone there a huge lift and as a result the staff performance has improved tremendously.

I wouldn't have a problem being in there if I needed to be.
