My 93 year old mother suffered a fall on 16th April and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. Firstly I would like to praise the dedication and professionalism of the NHS staff and my comments no way reflect the excellent job which they do.
My mother arrived at 3pm and we left at midnight - 9 hours in A and E - the time she spent with a doctor (Who was amazing) was 20 minutes and the time with a nurse (Equally Amazing) 20 minutes so 40 minutes for treatment and 8 hours 20 waiting on a Tuesday afternoon/evening, heaven knows what it is like at the weekend! if you have to go to A and E please prepare for a very long wait!
