WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE IN HOSPITAL
In the age of the Data Protection Act, there has been a significant change in the information that is released to Hospital Chaplains. This means that unless you specifically request that your details be passed on to the Catholic Chaplain, then he will be completely unaware of your presence in the hospital. So, please contact the parish priest and let him know if you (or a relative) are in hospital, and he will either come himself or notify the local clergy who have care of that hospital.
