For the last few months, my spouse has been in Sutherland Hospital four times. We love the atriums which are visible up three floors and when we are able, we have looked at the gardens from each floor, one with a stunning Ginko tree, one with pandas and one with a fish pond.
Everyone said the fish pond had turtles so we would say to the staff we're just going to look for the turtles. We had been told there were five. Hmm. On the last visit we saw one! However, each time, the windows were filthy and became dirtier and dirtier - "move over I can't see"!
The gardens are beautifully maintained and this is often the only way patients can see the outside. Is it possible to get a window cleaning grant?
In my opinion, frankly, the ward windows are filthy too. Staff rush in and out but the patients can't go home.
