Vic: We're sticking with Royal, says The Women's

The Royal Women's Hospital says it's sticking with the reference to the Queen despite
abbreviating it's new neon signage to just "the women's".

The hospital's MANDY FROSTICK says they've been inundated with callers upset by a report
in The Herald Sun that the hospital is dropping the Royal from the name.

Ms FROSTICK says the hospital is still registered as The Royal Women's Hospital but
the sign's been shortened merely because if it was kept it would've been too long to be
effective.

She says it's important there's distinctive signage because they're right next door
to the Royal Melbourne Hospital.
