"Recent visit to a and e"

About: Pinderfields General Hospital / Accident and emergency

Upon recent visit with my father , he was admitted early hours on Sunday morning by paramedics due to breathing difficulties ! He was initially seen by a nurse who did his obs and an ecg ! After that we were moved into the corridor , him sat in a wheel chair for 6 hours before we were asked to go for chest x ray ! It was disgusting to think he had to sit there at nearly 80 years old with breathing problems ! As it turned out he had pneumonia and was admitted eventually when we'd finally been seen by a doctor 8 hours later ! Disgusting state of NHS for a and e dept !

Thank you for taking your time to post your comments on NHS Choices.

I am sorry to read of both you and your father's experience whilst at A&E.

From what you describe, is not something we would want any of our patients to experience.

However, I am grateful for your feedback.

We do take comments extremely seriously and would like the opportunity to look into your concerns further.

Given that this is a public website, it would not be appropriate to discuss this further on here with you.

It would be helpful if you could contact our PALS team who would be happy to have a chat with you about your experiences.

They can be contacted on 01924 542972 or email pals@midyorks.nhs.uk.

Thank you again for your feedback.

Kind regards

Clare Blackburn

(Complaints & PALS Improvement Lead)
