WHY have a no-smoking policy at York Hospital that doesn’t appear to work or unable to be policed?

As you come out of the main entrance, there are seats for people waiting for pick-ups or patients wanting a bit of fresh air, all with large no-smoking signs.

Every one I sat on while waiting for my wife to pick me up, a smoker came and lit up and I had to move.

I finished up standing on the kerb edge leading to the main entrance. The whole of York District and grounds are non-smoking areas.
