My daughter gets seen once every 2 years for food allergies. She has an epi pen. I don't think that it's enough. There is also a lack of interpreters there.
He was taken for surgery within 30 minutes

My dad was taken here and had surgery within 30 minutes of arriving. He had specialist heart surgery and they were amazing with dad. They kept me well informed and calm throughout everything. I can't thank them enough for saving dad's life.
More staff needed.

Wait, wait and wait. I waited for 6 hours before I was seen by a doctor. They need more staff to improve the service delivery.

I was seen by a wonderful consultant but due to a very long waiting list for shoulder surgery I was shifted to Good Hope for immediate surgery.
A&E visit for 7 hours due to loss of sensation

I went to the A&E at around 3pm ish after my GP telling me to go due to back pain and losing sensation and it moving further down my leg. I was there for 40 minutes had my obs taken and told me I could have painkillers and they would get someone to give me them. 5 hours later still no meds, eventually after my mum telling them I hadn't had any, a lovely nurse checked me out and was shocked I had been there 5 hours and not been seen. 45 minutes I was eventually given pain meds. After the 7 hour mark, I asked the receptionist how long would it take to be seen as I've been here for 7 hours and I understand there's higher priority cases. I was then told I would have another well over 7 hour wait due to not being a high priority and it was "just back pain" and there was 160 patients in front of me. I explained it wasn't just back pain and was told again I wasn't a high priority and I would have to wait to be seen. Now multiple people came in after me and had been seen too and some even discharged to go home. I totally understand there are higher priority people but I hadn't been seen by a doctor or assessed. Just my obs and some pain killers after 5 hours. After being told I would have to wait a further 7 hours I decided to go home and contact an emergency GP. I have now been diagnosed with a prolapsed disk will need physio, injections and potentially surgery due to the numbness I have. I felt ignored, forgotten and just pushed aside because it wasn't important
