Hospital patients have been banned from using the toilet if they weigh more than 19 stone after dozens of facilities are damaged. The warning about the new facility restrictions was issued in the men's toilets at Buckland Hospital in Dover, Kent. Overweight patients are now being redirected to use reinforced toilets that have a breaking strain of 32 stone. A spokesman for East Kent Hospitals said: 'Some of our wall mounted toilets are only suitable for use by staff and visitors up to certain weights. However, we have other toilets in the hospital that are not wall mounted and don't have any weight restrictions and are suitable for patients or visitors of any weight'.
