Uncomfortable waiting area

Accident and emergency services
February 13, 2019
We took our son to City Hospital as he broke his wrist. The waiting area at A&E is really uncomfortable and some of the seats are broken. It is very cold in the waiting room and you don’t have any access to drinking water or food whilst waiting unless you have brought some cash with you. The seats should at least be a bit more comfortable as they waiting times are so long. They should also have a separate, quiet area to wait with children and some children’s toys. It is unclear where you need to wait to be called to be first assessed and the screens are not in use when you are called in. The toilets were not clean either. The receptionists do not give you much information. The doctor who saw our son put a temporary plaster in his hand and said that it does not need to be manipulated, but in the end after a follow up x-ray, after ten days and when the bone had already started to heal, we were told he would need an operation under general anaesthetics after all. It should have been done in the first instance rather than letting the bone start to heal.

Long waits and no support for diabetics

I normally use a walking frame but when I come to hospital I have to use a wheelchair. This is organised by the nursing home I live in. The ambulance brought me here. They just leave me then fetch me. My appointment is after 2pm and I arrived at 1.30pm, so its a long wait. I am diabetic but sometimes when I am at hospital I don't know how long I will need to wait and need someone to help me with food and drink. No one has asked me if I need food and drink, or the toilet there is no receptionists.
