The system is terrible

A 19 hour wait in A&E, and anytime you go it's like that. My brother had a car crash and my sister waited 22 hours. System is terrible and needs to be sorted.

Dirty and poor signposting

In general the dining area is good. Parking is also good but the toilets are dirty and the departments are very poorly signposted.

It's very busy. I waited 3 hours in A&E then I left without seeing a doctor. No water to drink, toilets were dirty and the seating was uncomfortable.

Disorganised and always late.

A very disorganised hospital. All clinics are badly planned and always run late. Staff are not helpful at all either.

Condition is getting worse

I have been referred to respiratory medicine at my local hospital as I have breathing issues. My concern is that I have been told that I have to wait for a appointment for longer than 12 months. In which time my breathing is going to get worse.

Better than my own GP

A&E is much better than my own GP. At least they see you after a couple of hours, treat you, and give you medication.
