Visitors must not disturb the rest of patients or interfere with the running of departments. If this obligation is not respected, the Director may decide to expel the visitor and prohibit him/her from visiting.

Journalists, photographers, canvassers and representatives do not have access to patients, except with the patient’s agreement and written authorisation from the Director.

Patients may ask the ward’s nursing staff not to allow anyone they designate to have access to them.
