Poor service

"Poor service"

About: Royal Blackburn Hospital

(as a relative),

I think that my mother received absolutely abysmal care from nurses and doctors. Her issues weren't resolved and they tried to discharge her whilst she still had health issues. 

They failed to undertake a continuing health care assessment checklist, which she was entitled to and provides ongoing care at home, so request it if applicable, as it's your right!

They lost her personal items, gave her food she was allergic too, even though they were informed on many occasions. 

She fell when they were aware she was infirm. They were argumentative with me and I think they lied to me. I saw staff just stood around laughing and joking.

They failed to undertake tests and caused my mother to face indignity by not attending to her personal needs.
