## Notice

Heartlands Hospital Estates Department currently use an ASSA master key system which has now ran out of patent and is no longer supported. After much research and cost comparisons the department has chosen the "CES" master key system as a replacement due to its compatibility, lifetime patent and extendibility. The trust intends to migrate to the new system with a gradual approach starting with High Risk/hazard rooms in year 1 and wards, departments and common areas to follow. Although we are aware of how many key suites and differs we have on site, we are unsure of actual cylinder numbers and width of cylinders so some surveying may be required.
