"Lady at the reception desk was very rude on the..."

About: Colchester General Hospital

Lady at the reception desk was very rude on the phone when I was simply enquiring to see if my dad had been admitted to hospital tonight. It took over 20 minutes to get through to her on the phone, then she transferred me to the accident and emergency department before I could even finish my sentence. This was not the department he would've been admitted to as he may have a possible terminal illness.

I apologise you’ve not had a good patient experience. We try really hard to improve our services based on the comments we receive from our patients, their relatives or carers. We would like the opportunity to discuss your experiences more fully and to apologise in person. If you are willing I would appreciate it if I could ask the matron to contact you. Could you email me, using the reference “Comment on RDEE4-Colchester General Hospital at 13/01/2015 18:04:43 ”, please? Many thanks Paul Searle, Head of Communications Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust info@colchesterhospital.nhs.uk
