My grand son attended a&e at hairmyres hospital at 6:30pm recently
He had triage at 7:30 , but he was not seen until just before midnight ,
It was recommended that he was taken to the sick kids at govan,
He is 6 years old , was very distressed with the goings on in the waiting room , he was hungry and tired.
I don't understand why it took so long to see him or the suggestion to go to sick kids not been made at 7:30.
As it was , we returned home at 3:30 am
My daughter in law his mother was with him , I was looking after his brother in my car in car park.
I would have expected to be seen and out by at least two hours , I don't think a 6 hour wait is good enough
I also emailed patient affairs, I am still awaiting an answer
"I don't understand why it took so long to see him"
