NHS Lanarkshire is increasing the number of people allowed to visit patients in its acute inpatient wards across its three acute hospitals.
The new arrangements take effect today, May 20, at Monklands, Hairmyres and Wishaw hospitals, with patients now able to have two visits a day with up to two people for up to 45 minutes - and the visitors can change for each visit.
This will allow for up to four people to visit daily in a major boost to patients.
