Telephone problem

"Telephone problem"

About: The Tunbridge Wells Hospital

My experience of Pembury has been mostly very positive, but I'm afraid I have to challenge the claim that the telephone is manned 24/7. Yesterday morning I rang the main number at about 10 a.m., and it simply rang and rang, with not even the opportunity to leave a message. Luckily it wasn't urgent, and I did get through later - but it might have been of great importance, and you should not claim a level of performance which you are not in fact able to provide.
