Anything else?
My husband and I took my daughter there recently and honestly it's the worst A&E I have even been too , waiting time almost 4 hours , there where children vomiting in the waiting room and the reception person refused to call someone to clean it so there where children vomiting and stepping on it plus a bunch of plastic cups left that nobody disposed off . The doctors where not to bad , the nurses where pretty much useless and I noticed that finding a simple thing like a thermometer required the doctors to ask 3 and 4 different people . The a&E was not even the worse the children's ward was bad , the nurses sit around not doing anything and are rude if you ask them for anything ,they show no emphathy towards a child in pain on their parents , the rooms have no doors so more than one parent commented they could never even have a bit of respite in case their child woke up scared and left the bed unnoticed . There is about a bathroom to 10 children and no bath so people staying with toddlers had a really difficult time . My husband paid more than £20 for 2 days of parking , it's shameful it's not like you enjoyed your child being ill . There is so much wrong this is just a small example of a few things . OH and belive it or not in 2 days the only thing my child could eat was squash as when asked for something else we where told all the food was gone and given the times for the next meal .
