"I suffer from Coeliac Disease ..."

About: Rotherham Hospital

(as the patient),

What could be improved

I suffer from Coeliac Disease and therefore require a strict gluten free diet. Although on the rare occasion I was offered GF food this was not the case the majority of the time. My partner brought my food into the hospital for me and thank goodness I had biscuits and crisps I had taken in.

I enquired as to whether my Gluten Free toast (that I was given on one morning) had been toasted separate to normal bread but no-one seemed to know and reassure me.

Anything else?

Whilst I had a pot on my right arm and drip in my left hand I was left a drink on my table and no-one was available to help me. I was then told that I needed to drink more. What a joke.
