NHS Tayside have advised visitors in the past that unannounced visits to any of its wards is not appropriate and must be planned accordingly.

“During the meeting, I assured Mr Chan that we understand that he has been acting with the best of intentions. However, I reiterated that our position has not changed and that we cannot have people accessing wards when the inpatient areas of the hospital are effectively closed. “The security and safety of our patients and staff will always be our primary concern.”
