Due to The Data Protection Act, it is important that you or someone else notifies your Parish Priest. It is not now possible for you to ask the Hospital Registration Department or The Ward Sister. The responsibility now is for you or a member of your family to inform your priest or the Hospital Chaplain.
Now that there is a full time Chaplain to cover the whole of the NSRI, the Maternity
block and City General, he is the first to call, he is on call 24 hours a day 365
days per year. (Fr. Eric Kemball)
Harplands Hospital: Rev Deacon Neil Adlington

If you know you are going into hospital for day care for a longer stay then ask you own parish priest beforehand for the Sacrament of the Sick.
In case of emergency it is important that someone telephones the hospital chaplain. (If you don’t have a mobile phone then do ask the nurse to call the chaplain). He will administer the Sacraments of the sick and Baptism n case of a baby and he will ensure that you receive Holy Communion. Of course you will still receive a visit from your Parish priest or Deacon if we are also informed.
Don’t be afraid to ask, either for yourself, or someone else, it doesn’t make you into a failure or mean that the end is nigh, It does affirm God’s love for all his children in good times as well as bad, in sickness as well as health.
