WDHS director of corporate services, Nick Starkie, said the Health Service had worked hard to improve its environmental sustainability at the Hamilton, Penshurst, and Coleraine campuses over the years, with the appointment of an environmental services officer emphasising their focus on reducing their environmental impact.
