He was recently admitted to Byron Ward at Cygnet Hospital Harrow and I can only compliment the staff that have worked together to bring him back to full health and made him feel like his self again. I am so pleased with how far he has come and it’s thanks to the wonderful staff at Cygnet Hospital Harrow.”Family member The ward has a carefully recruited staff team.
