They don’t have enough staff

A&E
October 6, 2022
Seems they don’t have enough staff. 50 plus patients waiting with only four doctors catering to their needs. All patients were in agony and stressed out.

I went for an appointment, everything was okay. I didn't have to wait too long and my carer took me.

Lack of communication

September 30, 2022
My mom 93 years old, had a fall and went to hospital at 6 pm and was seen at 8:30 am in the morning because they had no beds, it was a nightmare over there. I didn’t know where my mom was and had to call but there was lack of communication.
