Building work at Ramsey Cottage Hospital will mean disruption for disabled visitors for the next few days.

The Department of Health says the work within the old General Ward area of the hospital requires the main entrance car park, including the disabled parking bay, to be cordoned off.

This will take place over a four-day period from 8am on Monday.

The department says due to the steep gradient of the remainder of the car park, visitors who need a disabled parking place should use the Martin Ward (old Bride Ward) car park.

Wheelchairs will be available, if required, within the entrance foyer of Martin Ward.

Members of the public may also wish to use that car park due to the temporary restricted parking in the main one.

The department is apologising for the disruption and says advance notice will be given prior to start of each stage of the building project.
