This morning a car accidentally rolled into one of the structures covering the ambulance bay at the front of Eastbourne DGH. No significant injuries have been reported, however this incident has meant that ambulance access to the site is impaired.
To ensure the impact on our services is managed appropriately, we declared an internal business continuity incident. Ambulances are being diverted away from Eastbourne DGH in the short term, apart from a small number of high priority patients with specific conditions.
Our car park remains open and traffic flow has returned to normal, but please could all patients, visitors and colleagues follow any directions from trust colleagues when on site.
