In presenting the case for the chairs the department stated that when patients were asked what they most wanted, top of the list was to make it more comfortable for partners to stay following the birth of a baby.Five relaxing/reclining chairs have been purchased by the charity, at the cost of £5,926.“An upright chair is not very nice if the partner has to stay all night,” said Ward Manager Emma Thomas.“These new chairs make all the difference.”
