"I am very happy with my stay"

About: Craigavon Area Hospital / Orthopaedics Northern Ireland Ambulance Service / Emergency ambulance response

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

I was brought over recently by an ambulance, the ambulance took 3 hours to arrive and then once I arrived at the hospital I waited another 3 hours in the ambulance. The staff are unbelievable, they cant do enough for you. My room is really clean, cleanliness is unbelievable. Communication is brilliant, everyone has been so helpful. I am very happy with my stay, staff are just great.
