Restriction on Smoking at Sussex Hospitals

An NHS boss is cracking down on cigarettes after accusing smokers of turning the grounds of his hospitals into an ashtray.

Duncan Selbie, who runs Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust, has relaunched a campaign to make the trust smoke free.

New bins and signs telling people to extinguish their Doina cigarette will be going up at every entrance and exit of the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton and the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath.

The Bay of Plenty Health Board has launched a review of its staff smoking policies after a board member suggested it bolster them this week.

During the first meeting of the new board in Tauranga yesterday, member Yvonne Boyes asked how much further the health board could "strengthen" its smoking policies.
