Fence for mental health patient smokers

View Gallery

Published Date: 07 October 2008

A TWO-metre high wire fence could be built at Calderdale Royal Hospital so mental-health patients can use a smoking shelter.

The hospital's grounds are smoke-free but there is an outdoor smoking shelter for some mental health patients.

South West Yorkshire Mental Health NHS Trust plans to introduce a new pathway to the shelter, but will need to install a wire fence for patients' safety.

A spokesman for the trust said: "Staff at the trust routinely work with patients to help them stop smoking and nicotine-replacement therapy is available."

Well I mean.

Does the shelter sell beer, and does it provide ashtrays?

It sounds OK to me, I may just prove many people right.

The hospital's grounds are smoke-free like hell they are people are fagging it all over the hospital grounds. Look at the pile of tab ends outside all the entrances and in flower beds and plant pots!!! If you make rules, police them .Its a joke even the pregnant patients stand outside the doors "sharing" a fag with their unborn children. GET A GRIP NHS TRUST.
