What shops and amenities will be available for families in the hospital?
Families, patients and staff told us that they wanted to have access to ‘good food’ and essential items to help them carry out ‘normal’ chores and errands. The new RCH will include a small supermarket and a gymnasium as well as a range of healthy food options. There will be ATMs, a multi-faith centre and two child care centres. A small-scale 3.5-star hotel will be included, providing an option for extended families to stay within close distance to a sick relative. The mix of shops/amenities will be made at an appropriate time having regard to the 2011 completion date for the new hospital.
