"Waiting times"

After having an appointment with my gp today towards the end of October 2025 I was advised to attend the A&E at Craigavon hospital and the GO email the hospital that I was referred to them

I arrived approximately 12.00 noon

I was triaged within 45 minutes and that was the last I spoke to anyone

It's now 19.30 and I haven't spoken to anyone and when I enquired if there is any information on how much longer I may have to wait I was told that some patients have been waiting for 24 hours

I have no choice but to wait but for how long no one knows .

I haven’t had any medication all day and when I asked if the hospital could get me some medication that’s on me records I was told no

Is this really the service the NHS Southern trust is offering in today's world

I used to support the NHS but now I think it should be run much better and more customer oriented
