Aussie hospitals scrap restricted visiting hours in radical overhaul

Three of Sydney’s major public hospitals are set to take part in a world-leading initiative that will see visiting hour restrictions scrapped.

The radical­ overhaul is likely to be expanded to every public hospital­ across the state and possibly the country.
