Disgraceful

Story from nhs.uk

"Disgraceful"

Family member was advised to go here today and then got a call to say go down at 9pm! It's now 10.20pm and been told to go home as no beds available! What a total shambles! Why tell us to bring them over when it's over 40mins away for you then to tell us 1.2 hrs later you have no beds!

Will be making an official complaint as this is totally unacceptable and has now set back my family member even further!

Thank you for highlighting this matter to us although I am very sorry to hear you were inappropriately advised to attend the hospital.

In order to understand the issues and identify how we can improve to prevent such issues in the future could you please get in touch with

Angela Shorter, Acting Acute Service Manager, on 01622 725000 who will be able to investigate what happened and

how we can improve systems to prevent this kind of difficulty recurring.

Thank you again for raising this.
