Hi Chris,

So far we managed to find an inpatient ward with siderooms that had space.  We were allowed a single sideroom that has its own annex attached with sink.  The room itself also had a sink and its own bathroom.  I was tasked with getting an RO and machine in there if needed.  As there were multiple sinks in the area I was allowed by infection control to rig up an RO to the tap and allow both machine and RO to drain into the sink.

We have a satellite unit across the road that has a dedicated self-care area.  We are planning if required to use that and move the self-care patients elsewhere temporarily.  There has been no talk of portacabins or anything like that - yet.
