Admission

Accommodation & Charges

The medical and nursing needs of patients dictate the allocation of beds. You may not be accommodated in your requested accommodation type for the full duration of your hospital stay. You will only be asked to move if required in the interest of patient care. If you are admitted as an emergency, you will be accommodated in whatever bed is available until the requested type of bed becomes available. If there is a bed crisis, you may have to be accommodated in a mixed gender ward for a short period, but this will only happen as a last resort.
