Arrived at Royal Gwent, ward D7 East as instructed at 7.00 am Wednesday for admission for surgery on prolapsed disc, to be informed very bluntly by a nurse that the ward was in breach and that I should have phoned before we left home.
She was very rude to us and would not explain what she meant by the ward being in breach.
The ward sister was a bit more sympathetic and took time to explain that no admissions had been possible since the previous weekend.
"Failure to notify of cancelled admission for back surgery"
