"Barnsley Hospital - A&E and Ward 33 - long wait and poor food"

About: Barnsley Hospital

(as the patient),

Long wait in A&E - very busy - a long wait for admission onto ward.

The staff on the staff ward were overstretched and the facilities for supplying food on ward was very poor, i.e. the toaster was broken and so there was a limited amount of spreads such as marmalade, jams etc.

My name is Lucy Hainsworth, and I am the Forum Support Officer for Barnsley Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in Health Forums.

The Forums are a group of volunteers set-up by the government to independently monitor the NHS and involves public opinion in decisions which are made by the NHS on a local level, these include issues such as Hospital Disabled Toilet facilities (which are now undergoing refurbishment at Barnsley Hospital) etc.

We are hoping to undertake a project to look at Assistance with feeding for vulnerable patients at Barnsley Hospital, and across South Yorkshire, to see whether there is a need for improvement in the help they receive, to ensure they are more comfortable and receive the nutrients they need in order to recover.

I notice that you have commented on the poor food at Barnsley Hospital, and wondered if you would be willing to expand on this (anonymously) to help us in this project.

If you would like to be involved, please e-mail me your story and opinions to :

ForumSupport.Inhouse53@cppih.org

Thank you

Lucy
