"Staff work hard and under pressure..."

About: Royal Blackburn Hospital / Accident and emergency

Staff work hard in a&e and most the time under pressure

Communication is very poor and patients are left sit in cubicles or on beds in corridors due to no beds to transfer them to.

Overall my experience has left me feeling that I would rather not go near the place
