The red in this shot fascinates me for some reason. Very nice Mr. Motts.

High dependency as in violent ward or high dependency as in people with major physical limitations that require a lot of care?

Aww too bad somebody broke all the windows. It looked like a cool room (still does actually).

Good question cyber, does anyone know the answer?

According to the NHS: "A high dependency unit (HDU) is an area for patients who require more intensive observation, treatment and nursing care than are usually provided on a general ward. It is a standard of care between the general ward and full intensive care."

High dependancy and red are going hand-in-hand quite well, and are skipping down the street as we know it.

The red screams bio-hazard, like you are going to catch what ever the poor people here had.

high dependancy means, for patients who need a higher level of care, so that would mean the patients on this ward were either violent or dangerous
