All of my local hospitals have done this including the one I work at. I think it's come from NHS England or PHE since they're all following the same rules for visitors.
I’m sure they’d have their GP records etc they usually have your height and weight especially if they have health issues

Wherever you look online the figures are clear.
The majority are obese.
A lot of the beds in hospitals have weighing scales on them but obese is obese.
You can look at someone as see they're unhealthy by the amount and placement of fat they have on them.
Don’t worry so am I. Think some people have more pressing health concerns to worry about with this than us. Don’t panic x
Just because someone’s over weight doesn’t mean they don’t have a healthy life style there are plenty other reasons why a person is over weight. This will derail the thread so I won’t get into It. I’ve been bullied my whole life about being fat It’s shite
Our trust has two hospitals. The other still allows one visitor for one hour per day.
Could be for administering meds some are calculated by body mass
I wasn't implying otherwise.
I think that’s right as my grandfather couldn’t have paracetamol as he was under 8 stone he had to be given children’s calpol
No offence taken! Made of strong stuff me xxI wasn't implying otherwise.
I just meant that if you don't have a healthy lifestyle, nows the time to switch stuff up.
I know there's a lot of reasons for people being overweight, didn't mean to cause offence at all.
Really sorry to hear about your friend.
I stand corrected. I know when you go for pre ops they do all of those checks so they can give you the correct dose of meds etc. I guess it makes sense they need to know every single they can about you. Every day is a learning day
I thought you lose an hour in the spring?
From what I gather, suffocating from fluid on the lungs
lots of reasons, did they smoke? vape? could even be that they have a health issue they weren't aware of.
What amazing news!!!@monga and everyone else that signed the petition about people with learning disabilities if it came to it them not having the same medical support as people who don't. Well they have said it isn't the case now it just shows you how when we all come together change is possible!
Not in Ireland
We do loose an hour. I am amazed at how many people keep posting online incorrectly saying we gain an hour
We went to Tesco at 8.30 car park pretty empty and was about 10 people in all keeping distance shelves aren't great but we managed to get a week or so of meals and essentials that was my last time out as we've decided as hubs still has to work he can be the outsider person for our family till further notice xx
Good luck with that, I've bought 5 cross trainers and I have 0 cross trainers on their way to me. Yes no one cares about my gripes over getting some workout equipment but let me moan. I have lots of bog rolls and recalled frozen lasagnas that may have bits of metal in (I've been told they're big bits) I should be able to barter with someone that's using a cross trainer as a clothes horse
my mum always says spring forward in the spring, therefore losing an hour.
