Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust apologises for any inconvenience that you may experience during your stay at North Devon District Hospital, as a result of industrial action by staff who work for our contractors Sodexo.
Our staff are doing all they can to ensure that services run as smoothly as possible, but we do ask patients and visitors to bear with us if sometimes it takes a little longer to get things done.
Out-patient clinics and in-patient admissions are not affected by the action.
We have put contingency plans in place to maintain hygiene and other safety standards for patients, which are our top priority.
All patient meals are due to be provided as usual during the 48-hour period of strike action, which began today (Tuesday) and will end at midnight tomorrow.
The café in the main foyer on level 2 will be open for tea and coffee only. The foyer shop will also be open.
However, our restaurant on level 0, the Raleigh Galley, will not be open.
