"Awful Children's A&E"

I really can't express how poor the Whiston children's A&E department is. After being quickly triaged, and sent for an X-ray, things went down hill very quickly.

Sat there for nearly four hours. Our 9 year old daughter was in lots of pain in a wheel chair. No one saw us. The nurse simply started that other children who were more poorly were there. Waiting times were allegedly 5.5 hours (not when we arrived). There were kids with whooping cough in the waiting area. We asked if a doctor could call us with the results. They said it might happen. It didn't. They simply didn't care. I'm sure they were pleased that we walked out at 9pm as it was less work for them.

I'm appalled that Whiston are causing unnecessary pain and suffering to children.
