"Over 8 hours wait with info whatsoever...."

I took my father in law to a&e for broken ankles care and despite that he is an elderly senior and was taken on a wheel chair, its been over 8 hours now and we are still waiting him to be seen by a dr. Let alone xrays etc.

We came at around 00:15 hours and with 4 hours wait as told by the nurse, its 8:46 in the morning and staff has double checked the remaining patients twice by calling their names. No calls and patients are literally sleeping in the waiting area.

I can understand that there is some wait in a&e but 8+ hours are beyond my understanding. The staff has no clue whatsoever and we are still there while the whole shift has changed. Absolutely third class service. I wish I had taken him to some other hospital.
