Walsall Manor Hospital Main Entrance includes a restaurant, cafe, shop and cash machine

Anxious relatives often don't get the chance to do the simple thinks like eat sensibly or get to a bank.

The new entrance area at Walsall Manor Hospital includes a cheerful coffee shop, a small supermarket, a restaurant and an area where you can eat sandwiches you may have bought from home or elsewhere. There is even a cash machine if you have forgotten to go to the bank.

These things may sound simple and obvious but, until you are a fraught relative you often don't realise how grateful you are to be able to get some money and buy something to eat before you leave the hospital.
