Cane Hill published its own newsletter which was distributed to all departments around the hospital. Called "Yellow Pages" (in reference to the yellow pages used for its photocopying), this weekly publication included hospital information, advertisements, classifieds and announcements. A collection of issues were found in the Pharmacy. Dated 1991, they were mostly concerned about the closure of the remaining hospital facilities. In amongst the dwindling news and the eventual closure (in a last issue, staff were asked to clear their own desks into black bin-liners provided), a patient penned a final epitaph: An Ode To Cane Hill.
