"Quality of the food"

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent admission to the Royal Blackburn Hospital and for taking the time to do so.

We are very sorry that you were unhappy with the quality of the food provided during your stay and also had some concerns about the attitude of the staff.

We will ensure that your comments are brought to the attention of the Catering Manager and Surgical Division.

We are keen that your comments are brought to the attention of the manager for the ward concerned.

We would be very grateful if you could contact the Patient Experience Team to confirm which ward you were on during your admission so we can pass on your comments.

If you would like to talk through your admission with one of our Patient Experience team so we can further understand what made this such a negative experience we would welcome this, so that we can try to improve things for every patient visiting our hospitals and services.

You can either contact me (Melissa Almond) on 01254 734087 or email me on Melissa.almond@elht.nhs.uk

If you prefer you can discuss further any concerns you may have about our services with our East Lancashire Hospitals Trust Customer Relations team on 01254 733700 or complaints@elht.nhs.uk who can advise you of your options in raising these concerns further.
