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.

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.

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.
