Staff shortages

"Staff shortages"

About: Royal Oldham Hospital / Maternity

(as a service user),

I my opinion, staff shortages hamper the service provided. I.e left for prolonged periods on monitors as staff seem to be covering other departments.

On the ante-natal ward I waited over 5.5 hours to be transferred to the labour ward for ARM. Not entirely sure whether this is down to bed or staff shortages. This results in a backlog, as patients on ante-natal ward are taking up beds which could be made available for those in need.
