Delay for discharge waiting to see Diabetes Specialist Nurse

"Delay for discharge waiting to see Diabetes Specialist Nurse"

About: Royal Preston Hospital / Diabetic medicine

(as the patient),

Does it take 24 hours for a Diabetes Specialist Nurse to discharge a patient admitted into the Medical Assessment Unit? Patient still in Ward and non the wiser when she is to be visited. Very disappointed to hear that the Diabetes Specialist Nurses are too busy given the demands on bed space.
