My parents went to Buckland Hospital MIU at approx 11am, initially to see if the Xray dept was open on the off chance they could be seen as my father had a fall.
Even though I phoned Canterbury Hospital in advance, asking if the Xray dept was open, the response was categorically no - not at weekends. This is not true as they hedged their bets.
They were promptly seen, X-rayed and referred across to Canterbury as he had been unconscious and needed to been signed off by a consultant. Notes would be sent across electronically so it should not be tool long a wait.
Arriving there around 1pm they are still there, awaiting some antibiotics. 10 hours and counting... disgraceful.
"Unacceptably slow service"
