"No privacy in A&E"

I think it’s appalling that patients in A&E have to declare their health issues in front of everyone else waiting for the triage nurse. The ‘screen’ does nothing to protect privacy for the patient speaking or those waiting. In 10minutes I had to hear a terrified, distraught lady who is suicidal and another lady who had to explain her injuries were from being battered at home. I have no doubt these women did not wish to share that information with anyone else waiting in reception and I certainly didn’t wish to hear it. Give this hospital some more money to get more staff and private rooms or close it down. Years of disappointment and neglect because of funding at this hospital, the community and the staff deserve better.
