However, certain areas such as intensive care, the special care baby unit and some isolation wards do not allow fresh flowers due to infection control. If you are unsure, please check with the ward beforehand. Should flowers not be permitted, we can suggest lovely alternatives such as chocolates, fruit baskets or a potted plant where allowed.
