- One birthing partner
- One visitor per child patient
- One visitor for patients with dementia

"If you are attending an appointment or the Urgent and Emergency Care Centre, you should attend by yourself where possible, or with a maximum of one person with you."
The move comes after the hospital had already cut down visitor numbers last week.
