ALCESTER Day Hospital is celebrating the arrival of a new piece of equipment donated by the league of friends.
The charity has given a new pair of scales, costing about £1,500, to the Kinwarton Road hospital.
Day hospital co-ordinator Gaynor Edwards said the scales were basically a large weighing platform so patients in wheelchairs would not be put through the difficulty of trying to move from chair to chair.
She said they weighed every patient once a month, an important part in their health assessment.
"Although it's only a pair of scales, it's an absolutely fantastic piece of equipment and a huge improvement," she added.
