"It seems a little unfair to allow an 81 year old..."

Dad was admitted to Solihull Hospital last Saturday. Since Sunday, we've been told he's being transferred to the QE. Today Dad's still at Solihull, however we've been told he is going to the QE today. It's 6:30pm and he's still sitting in a chair waiting to go to the QE. He's 81 and worried about going to the QE and yet apart being told he's going nothing has happened. It seems a little unfair to allow an 81 year old just to sit and wait and wait.
