The cots used on the children’s unit are around 13 years old, are worn and need upgrading. Unfortunately, with internal funding in short supply and many competing projects, the hospital are not able to replace them. This year new regulations for cots are being released, so it is expected that the new cots will be designed around childcare and handling and will make a positive difference to the safety and the comfort of the patient. They will be easy to use and maintain, helping to deliver the highest standard of hygiene, and will have special features to care for acutely ill children.
