Update on the local water supply issues – Wednesday 14 January

We know some households in East Grinstead are starting to see water supplies trickle back, which is great news for the community. Here at Queen Victoria Hospital, we’ll continue to be supplied by a water tanker until the mains supply is fully restored and we can confirm we have the water supply we need.

Our priority remains keeping our services running smoothly. Patient care is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re grateful for your support.

Need help for a minor injury or ailment?
While A&E departments in our neighbouring hospitals are very busy right now, our Minor Injuries Unit is open every day from 8am-8pm. You can see the range of minor injuries and conditions we can help with here https://www.qvh.nhs.uk/our-services/minor-injuries-unit/

Helpful information to know:

• Appointments and surgery: Please attend as planned unless we contact you directly.
• Visiting wards: Please can we ask that whilst the water supply issues continues only essential family or friends visit.
• Food and drink: Tomorrow, we are planning The Spitfire Restaurant and The Hurricane Cafe being open if you need to buy food or drink. However if you want to bring your own drinks or snacks you are welcome to.
• Help us save water: Every drop counts, so please use only what you need.
• Questions or concerns? Speak to a member of our team during your visit.

Thank you for your patience during this challenging time.
