Don't allow a carer to come with me
Hospital transport

It works but they don't allow a carer with me and I have to leave the door open if I needed because I need a carer with me and I hope no one comes in.
Can't rely on them

You can't rely on them, they get there over an hour too soon. I end up going in right away and I waited for 2 hours for them to come and take me home.
Six hours waiting to go home.

Taxi came for me and got here bang on time. It was an in and out appointment, Ambulance called to take me home. I have been sat next to reception all day. Receptionist has kept me supplied with tea and chased up ambulance at least six times. Can’t fault hospital staff or Drivers it’s the faceless suits that let the NHS down.
Relies on hospital transport

My brother who has had two strokes and can not use his right leg or right arm depends on hospital transport to get him to appointments but sometimes they cancel he only gets out of the house when he goes to appointments as he lives above a shop with very steep stairs so his family can not take him out.
Arrived too early

I arrived 2 hours before my appointment time and had to wait for 3 hours for a return. Last year they refused to let me use the ambulance service as they didn't know about my illness but once they knew they said I could use the ambulance service. Everything else is good.
Excellent

Great. Staff were nice and when they brought me to the Royal they took me straight to the minor operations unit. Excellent.
The waiting can be too long.

It was booked for me and they said the maximum time waiting could be 4 hours. If I had known I would have just booked a taxi. I have been waiting over an hour so far. The ambulance getting here was fine and got me here on time. That was easy to book on the phone.
A long process

It can be a long process and you're not the only one being picked up. You have to wait a long time for collection too.
They were good.

They were good. They took me to hospital and when I was discharged they gave me a ticket and arranged transport back for me. The staff were sound there.

They transferred my baby to another hospital after 3 weeks. They looked after him as best they could on the short journey. The staff were very very nice and kind.
