Ian Bramley, Director of Nursing, said: “Smoking at hospital entrances is not only unsightly and unpleasant for people who have to walk through a cloud of smoke to gain access to our hospital, but it is causing increased litter and is a serious fire risk and health hazard.
"We are asking smokers to be considerate and move off the hospital grounds to smoke. Both patients and visitors are asked not to smoke at our entrance.”
