"Appalling staff, dirty hospital & inaccurate..."

About: Tameside General Hospital

Anything else?

Received my grandfathers discharge papers in the post this morning from Tameside hospital, on the paper work it states co-morbidities - Cancer....This is the first we have heard of my grandfather having cancer. I have spoken to ward 40 and was told if it is cancer we will send it in writing. I have attempted to contact his two consultants and have very rudely been asked what I wanted and not had a return phone call. I am livid at the treatment and lack of information passed on by the specialists to my family. This is one problem of many we have encountered at Tameside hospital and we've now had enough!
