My 83 year old Dad spent last night on a trolley in an “overflow” room at A & E Heartlands Hospital. He’s very poorly. In the past 20 hours no drinks (not even water) have been offered. Yesterday evening I purchased him a a sandwich and a bottle of water. There are few nurses. Fewer Doctors. No “housekeeping” it seems. I don’t know if he’s had his meds or insulin. As of this moment he’s had no breakfast. I am at home. I have MS. PALS is closed. How am I expected to get him noticed? I am struggling to move. I am his only carer. My faith in God is strong. Not so in the NHS.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about Heartlands Hospital – apologies for the delayed response. We are really sorry that there were so many issues with your father's care in the Emergency Department - specifically not being offered no drinks in over 20 hours, a feeling that the department is understaffed, an absence of visible housekeeping and your inability to get hold of the PALS department.

I am not very happy with the treatment in A&E. I waited on a stretcher for over 10 hours as there were no beds.

They do not know what the military conurbation act is. It means we are supposed to get quicker treatment. I have snapped my ACL 8 weeks ago still no surgeon appointment.
