Staff sickness forces ward closure

Fri, 24 Dec 2010

One of the wards at Noble's Hospital has been forced to close due to staff shortages.

Ward seven, which is the stroke unit, will remain closed temporarily because of staff sickness.

The hospital is still able to provide the same treatment, just in a different ward.

The Department of Health says it's in the best interest of other staff and patients for those with bugs to staff at home
