"What a shambles"

About: The Tunbridge Wells Hospital

Anything else?

3.5 hr wait with 5 year old daughter who suffered a head injury, bought in by ambulance and left in dirty children's waiting room even have receptionists making assessments and giving advice. Not very comforting not kept informed don't I understand why younger children not given priority

Thankfully daughter ok and saved by great nurse and brilliant young doctor no wonder we lag behind .
