The Royal United Hospital Bath to receive 1.7 million pounds to upgrade lights throughout its extensive buildings in Weston, according to an article on the NowBath website.
The money will come from the UK Department of Health, which awarded the RUH a share of its 50 million-pound Carbon Efficiency Fund.
“Better lighting will make clinical examination of patients much easier, and also provide improved visibility for our cleaners. Along with brightening the hospital up, we will be reducing our carbon footprint and saving a considerable sum of money on energy every year, which we will be able to re-direct into improving patient care" Howard Jones, director of estates and facilities, said in the article.
“We have already taken some steps forward to improve lighting, such as upgraded car park and street lighting, and better lighting in some of our corridors. We have also introduced LEDs into some clinical areas, such as our cardiac ward and the dermatology department, but this money will enable us to roll out lighting improvements right across the hospital.”
