ABSTRACT
Of course it will continue to be important to control costs, but aesthetic and architectural considerations must also be given proper recognition.’ Lord Foster (Quoted by Mr Chris Smith, as Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport at the Opening Plenary Session of the Arts in Hospitals and Healthcare Conference, held in Strasbourg, France, 4-6 February 2001)
‘Increasingly doctors and other healthcare professionals will need to work more closely with their patients to explore which treatment the patient feels best meets their need. I believe the potentially powerful role of complementary therapies will need to be increasingly recognised and incorporated into an individual’s healthcare.’ Prince of Wales (11 November 2000 at the Millennium Festival of Medicine Conference)
‘You can have the most efficient procurement process in the world but if you don’t have a decent design you will still end up with a second-rate building.’
