Partners
During the induction of labour process, one partner is permitted to stay overnight to support the mother.
Following the birth, one partner is permitted to stay overnight, this is for the purpose of supporting the mother and baby and to promote family bonding.
A recliner chair is provided for the partner overnight and we respectfully request you do not sleep in the bed with your partner, because of the weight limit of the beds and infection control risk.
We would like to remind all partners who stay overnight that they must remain fully clothed at all times.
