I had to go to Altnagelvin A&E on Monday night. All the staff and the care I received could not have been better. However I found the seating extremely uncomfortable. The chair backs are set at an odd angle to the seats and provide little support for one’s back, I found this quite painful after only a short while and extremely so after an hour or so. My daughter had previously had to attend with a slipped disc and found it excruciating. Obviously it would be unrealistic to expect you to change the seating after an otherwise good refurbishment but perhaps you could provide some more conventional seating, like they have in X ray waiting rooms, as an alternative.
Many thanks
