The Friends kindly donated 2,000 to enable the two rooms to have new furniture and to be redecorated.

The rooms have a big role within the Critical Care unit as they allow relatives of patients to stay close to their loved ones.

Members from The League of Friends of Bexhill Hospitals were present for the official opening.

Pauline Simes, Critical Care Clinical Matron, said: "This is very much appreciated by everyone as the rooms are very well used.

"We are delighted with how they look now and we are very thankful to the Friends for such a generous donation."

Dr Nick McNeillis, Director of ICU, said: "It can be tough for relatives, therefore to have a good facility where they can go is very important.

"The old rooms were in a poor condition and were at a stage where we didn't want to take people in there so we are very grateful to the friends to be able to refurbish them."
