As I write, I am aware of four parishioners who are presently in hospital and I wish them a speedy recovery. However, due to Data Protection legislation, hospitals are no longer permitted to allow parish clergy access to the names of their patients. This means that clergy will not know that you, a friend or family member is in hospital unless you tell them. I would like to ask parishioners to
let me know if anyone is in hospital and would appreciate a visit – even if only for a day or two – as I would rather hear 10 times than not at all! It is only by letting your Rector know that the best level of pastoral care can be given and I thank you in anticipation for your cooperation.
