On arriving to a and e, the first issue was the ridiculous wait time which at one point went to 9 hours 34 minutes to see a doctor. The waiting room in a and e was dirty with rubbish including spilt drinks, empty bottles/food packets all over the floor which no one cleaned up for at least 3 hours. The seats are awfully uncomfortable and none of the drinks machines were working which meant sat for hours without a drink. When seen by the doctor for an examination, the bed was covered in the previous patients blood on paper towels which the nurse had to quickly try and clean up which is absolutely disgusting and unhygienic. Then probably the worst thing was the member of staff who was eating some crisps out of a large grey pot which patients use to urinate in. I would never recommend Warrington a and e to anyone.
