"waste of my families time. Should have gone to..."

About: Eastbourne District General Hospital

I had to take my daughter to a+e after an accident, after waiting an hour and a half finally saw the assessment nurse. Only for her to say she would wait for a doctor to say if she needs an x-ray or not. Have then had to wait a further 4 hours before seeing a doctor! This is not the first time this hospital has had my family waiting for hours on end. But it certainly will be the last! I refuse to use this hospital again! With a minority of the staff actually being any good, I believe it needs to be looked into by authorities.
