I am a smoker but I am appalled by the amount of people smoking and vaping near the front entrance and on the benches by the parking machine, I’ve just seen reviews from 2014 (ten years ago) complaining about smoking on site, and it looks as though nothing has been done about it, and staff and security do nothing to challenge people smoking on site, even though that is part of the policy. The reviews in 2014 also suggested smoking areas away from the buildings, but according to the hospital reply, this was shot down by health professional colleagues who preferred a no smoking policy - which is fine, but why have the policy and then do nothing about it? Like I said I am a smoker, but smoking on hospital grounds is unacceptable, and it appears nothing has been done about it (in ten years) so when are you going to grow a backbone and start telling people not to smoke out the front?
