Delays in Emergency Care is Causing Patients to Die Early
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- An NHS consultant has told Good Morning Britain that patients are dying earlier than they should as a result of delays in receiving emergency care. Almost 19,000 patients waited in A&E for three days last year, according to figures obtained by Channel Four's Dispatches.
Tim's son Daniel waited for 18 hours in A&E on a hard chair with symptoms of sepsis and believes if he hadn’t kicked up such a fuss his son would have died.

Third world country now
Yeah it really is! No one speaks English either (my Mum is an immigrant... came here as a nurse and speaks English)
@@natashaj9169So you are also part of the problem and should leave.
Pakistan / Mogadishu ...
Rick, you do not even know how long her mum as a nurse has been in this country. It could be years for all you know. A lot of people going back 50/80 odd years came here as immigrants. Don't just assume she is a new immigrant without facts. 🙄
@@rickkarsan4491 only one person here is the problem and it’s not them, believe me
You only have to visit a hospital A and E unit to see that there aren’t enough staff to process patients any faster and there are never enough seats for the numbers of people waiting.
there are plenty, look in the coffee shops and canteens. They are all there.
@@rickkarsan4491what is wrong with you?
I think you need to get help.
The one place there is an issue is back office admin. There does seem to be some disparity with pay banding for managers.
They’re dealing with the fact that gps don’t seem to be working anymore
Plenty of money for "diversity and inclusivity" staff.
@rickkarsan4491 yes On they are on breaks which they are entitled too!!😙😙
My 88 year old mother was in A & E for 3 days waiting for a bed on a ward.
She was on a trolley next to the reception desk along with 4 other elderly people.
Absolutely disgusting. In the end we just went in and picked her up and took her home. She had a serious UTI.
Truly awful I feel for you all too.
Bless her you did the right thing taking her home those trolleys are not comfortable I was on one at Xmas. Hope your Mum is getting better🙏🏻♥
Same with my Uncle who is 90, not even taken to the toilet. He was rescued by my aunt and no one batted an eyelid. Said it was degrading and he would rather die at home than go back.
She wasted the NHS' time and money. You should be ashamed! She could have been treated at home with fresh garlic and a drop of salt.
@@Rosebud-l9p I don't blame him their either too.
Thank God our ROYAL FAMILY is not affected by any delays 👍
maybe they should be to make them relise how it is for us people as how privilege this family really is i bet they would be completely shocked
I waited 22.5 hours in A&E Preston which impacted my kidneys. Eventually admitted to a short term ward which was freezing, shivered for 2 days my husband brought blankets into hospital, and then admitted into the cardiac ward. 5 instead of 4 people in my bay on cardiac ward. crowded when visitors came, and it was designated a Covid ward (Nov 2023). Toilets had overhead toilet cisterns usually seen in post war council houses, and a window taped up with yellow and black tape apparently been like that for several years. You couldn’t fault the nurses, doctors and support staff.
Yeah my husband has to bring me electric blankets and blankets.
Terrible and more for sure too.
Preston hospital has the worst management. They don't care about their patients and staff
Absolutely appalling
I'm an ex AnE nurse....
I've retired and moved to the south west.
Our local AnE department is seriously frightening......
The staff are snowed under and the place is chaos.....
To much opportunity for mistakes to be made, unfortunately.
Tories Are To Blame....
Sociopaths....!!
Well, this is what happens in industries in which there is no competition, normally found in socialist countries, which is the direction the UK is headed for. The tax burden, for example, is already at an all-time high, and national debt is out of control. What do you reckon the solution is? Taxing more and spending more? Chucking more money into that bottomless, monopolistic money pit called the NHS? Because if that's the solution, I think Labour is going to sort this out.
If it's chaos, that's nothing to do with the Tories, that's the staff and how they organise.
The biggest issue is that A&E depts are used as a doctor's surgery for new immigrants. The makeup of A&E waiting rooms doesn't reflect the communities they are in, and that isn't going to change under Labour who are also committed to infinity immigration.
It’s the same in Canada too. In my province we have a Labour-like government and have the same problem. Seems like it’s by design almost. And the significant increase in immigration levels in Europe, the US and Canada isn’t helping.
@@lsaraswati957 Yes, it IS by design. If only there was some kind of system in which incompetent and wasteful people and companies get sacked or go bust, a system in which competent people and companies flourish, a system that incentivises competence... Oh, hang on one second... I think there IS one. It's called "the private sector."
@@chesshooligan1282 I mostly agree with you but I think that it’s US private healthcare companies lobbying the UK government to make the NHS fail so that for-profit private healthcare can take over. That being said private care can be much more accessible, often better and less intrusive. But I also wonder if they are doing it for other globalist reasons like depopulation or control now too.
The exact same happened to my Dad. Clear signs of sepsis. I am a doctor. I had to make a great amount of noise for him to be given fluid and antibiotics and demanded the consultant see him that night. I know that he would be dead or seriously injured if I didn’t shout. It shouldn’t be this way.
Do you think that the reason that A&E is overrun is because gp surgeries aren’t providing the care they should? I was told today that I cannot get a routine appointment for the foreseeable future I’ll have to call in the morning. A large practice with two phone lines? Can’t get through and by the time I can all appointments are gone so people are going to hospital instead.
@@NecessaryDramaAddictionNDA I think there is no long term plan for the NHS. The problems in A&E are multifactorial. GPs are certainly overworked and pushed to their limits due to numbers and also more complex healthcare needs. There is burnout and sickness in all sectors, with doctors and nurses expected to deliver more with less. Morale is very low. In many specialties there is less supervision for juniors particularly on nights and weekends. Unfortunately our wonderful NHS is so broken and there is no immediate solution.
I'm also a doctor, an Emergency Physician. In 2020, my mother was feeling generally unwell. She was turned away from her GP clinics front door and told to call for an ambulance 'in case she had Covid.' She then went to her local Emergency department where a GP working in that department told her not to worry as she probably has some sort of virus. On my insistence to her and a phone call to the doctor in charge, she returned to that Emergency department to have blood tests. Her Sodium was 110.
@@henkuanghoung4732I fear for those who cannot shout or have no one to advocate for them. I hope your mother recovered and is well.
@@dt261GPs aren't overworked. They are generally a ghost town as they try and force everyone to telephone appointments.
But the NHS is SO DIVERSE.......what's a few deaths compared to the strength of diversity?
That’s down to poor management and some deliberate politicising of the nhs.
Read the Kings Fund report on hospital bed numbers. That states that 'The total number of NHS hospital beds in England has more than halved over the past 30 years, from around 299,000 in 1987/88 to 141,000 in 2019/20, while the number of patients treated has increased significantly'. A proportion of beds that were lost were in elderly convalescence beds, the geriatric wards and cottage hospitals, but there is not the social care support or nursing home beds to make up for that, so bed blocking has become a huge issue. That's an understatement that the population has increased significantly, we have over 10 million more immigrants living in the UK now since the Tories came into power, thanks to Tony Blair's policies. Politicians are all as bad as each other and all probably using private healthcare for themselves.
23 hours at mine to see the doctor then 19 hours waiting for tests
Waited 18 hours? Nothing shocking about that. Thats the norm now
well we get what we voted for nothing will change until we get someone decent in
Nigel Farage for PM
@@Neil-qf6df I agree i think we need Reform in but they will not get the votes because of sheep Labour voters
@@JohnPretty1 dunno....would be nice
@@Neil-qf6dfthis is true. In 2021 i was in fazakerley hospital A+E for 22 hours (the 2nd time i was in) it wasn't until the 3rd Time when i had a polo scan that we found out what was wrong i had loads of water stored up in my body
There’s no one who can fix this. They’re all the same
The staff are lazy and dishonest.
I worked in the nhs for 22 years and although I raised the question, it was never a part of providing treatment to request a patient to give their national insurance number.
In my opinion, this should be mandatory in order to access a service which has been funded by payment of national insurance.
Implying immigrants are overloading NHS, not the 100s of thousands of elderly British population, let's get real, 99.9% of patients are British or non British who payed for the NHS, those who don't get cover pay for the service. I doubt you worked a day in the NHS
@@DriveWmeimmigrants are overloading the NHS. We had a massive population increase and our NHS can’t keep up with it, everybody except for Reform tries to find other methods but the thing is mass immigration is a cause for many problems as our public services can’t handle the massive uptick in people, this isn’t about elderly people, it’s about millions of immigrants.
The UK has millions more people than a decade ago and NHS funding and staff hasn't been increased to account for this. The Tories didn't care about the "peasants" using the NHS. They broke one of the only good things the UK had.
My partner waited 12 hours with a ruptured appendix last year, we waited in a corridor, not even in a waiting room.
Its not the fault of the NHS it lays at the feet of our government who havent invested any money into the NHS for decades
The NHS has loads of money. It's mismanaged by the Trust's, so it is the NHS. There's also far to much contracting out of services, which is far more expensive than in-house and far too many nurses and other staff sourced from agencies rather than employed directly - again far more expensive. On average twice a much.
Funding is NOT the problem. As Englishman999 has explained, it's top heavy, wasteful, and mismanaged. It's also massively overburdened.
That’s not true though
@@Englishman999 I went for a procedure in Northern Ireland where I did reside, there was an English man and I asked him when he moved here and he said oh I just work here at the weekend? I said every weekend? He said yes. He was likely a contractor and being paid handsomely
@@NecessaryDramaAddictionNDA What isn't?
When my stoma healed over and felt like my stomach was going to explode I got in A&E At 8.30 in the morning I got a bed at 2.30 am an had to wait another 36 hour to have an operation by which point the heald stoma ripped open through forc as the waste forced it way out at the dame time there was at least 8 immigrants came in with colds and people say they do affect the Nhs
NHS is completely short staffed, the only staff working there are overwhelmed and exhausted. Yet the government is is not renewing work visas for Health and Social Care workers. These people don’t qualify for public funds and benefits. Stop with the drama and pride and accept the problem is existing.
I waited 2 days ago for 8 hours in Basingstoke Hospital for an XRay at the time there was also a lady with me who had an Urgent appointment referral from her GP and they totally ignored the referral and she was also there for 8 hours and she was hospitalised in the end as she needed scans done to and they advised she would have to wait until the morning. For what I saw and told the GP that the organisation is not good, they keep all patients waiting regardless of each person’s individual situation. I responded the staff were complaining about the partners or companions to move to another room if they were more efficient this would not be happening. The system they have is not great, all they would say is they are short of doctors and people have waited longer. This is not normal 😮
Reminder, these delays are the norm in NHS, too many patients, not enough staff, on night shift there is usually 2 drs covering atleast 12 wards full of sick patients, Acute units may have 2-3 at best to see the wave of patients coming from ED, sometimes it takes 12-24 hours for patients to be seen by a dr.
Ps: this happens on daily basis not when Drs strike (as they try to imply here)
Stop hiring staff that is incapable of the job.
No need to listen to the Doctors and Nurses just take it from the Honest Tory Prime Miniature.................................🤡
😢my 85 year old mother a stafe 4 kidney patient was refused ambulance and i was told to drive her to A and E myself it would be quicker. She lwas waiting 3 days to get on a ward and 18hrs before that to be seen. Its a disgrace and physicologically damaging. We pay taxes and these mps pocket the money. Why is this country falling apart.
This is so devastating for so many people now. We have had a few experiences in A&E and it is petrifying the care people receive. I have seen a steady decline in bed numbers over the years. This does not make sense with an increase in population. Sheer madness.
Shocking that boy 😮
The nurses in a hospital caused the death of my grandad. He was in hospital for a stomach blockage. His stomach has so blocked up his throat wouldn't open up to allow food or water to his stomach, he had what they called a closed system. The nurses where told multiple times to not give him water as it could literally cause him to drown, i witnessed them being told on two occasions myself. We left him that night and in the morning when the new shift came in the nurses told him he needed to drink as he wouldn't be going to surgery for a good while. This caused him to start choking and the water was going into his lungs, under the stress of the situation he had a massive heart attack and deid before they could evacuated the water from his throat.The thought of him drowning while sitting in his bed and panic he must have felt breaks my heart. The amount of incompetence i witnessed while he was there was infuriating.
The system is broken. The funding for the NHS is wasted and no doubt is not enough. The people employed I don’t think received proper training and there are not enough nurses or doctors. Please the whole system needs to change and mirror other countries like Spain.
To many people using the service. It wasn't designed to care for this many people. Staff shortages due to sickness and recruitment is another Issue!
It was bad before. However seeing the increase in ambulances on the road, I am not surprised it is collapsing.
The solution isn't complicated. As a business owner, when my company has a huge increase in clients, we hire staff to accomodate for said increase in work. The NHS needs more staffing to deal with the increase of patients.
My 72yr husband at Boston hospital lincs, had a 24 hour wait dare not ask because the nurse was very grumpy ,maybe not her fault 😢
Sad to see how Britain is degrading in quality of life.
All this talk of what the nhs needs... what should be talked about is what to do about the people who deliberately created this horror show... dragged out of their comfort zones and truly held to account i say!!
Absolutely agree 💯 The Tory government & the NHS management should be held accountable. Criminal charges should be imposed for negligence & corporate manslaughter.
I can only assume that with 'power' comes 'permission'🥴🤬
so sad
always been like this ....
Go visit your A & E
Bad experience nurse manager Dr GP psychiatrist in charge NHS services
but be sure to keep on paying taxes you proles !
Be better under Labour who run the Welsh nhs right.
So glad I don't live in England. 🇺🇲
Ridiculous this country just like my tax bill which should be reduced if they cant deliver services we pay for.
It's so bad now the NHS has reached the point it needs REFORM.
I was sent by my GP to A&E in Birmingham after suffering a series of TIAs (mini strokes). I was told that I would have to wait 13 hours to see anyone (despite having another TIA there and then in front of the nurse). My complicating factor is I have been housebound and bed-bound for seven years due to spinal injuries. I am literally incapable of sitting. The posters on the walls said they would make ‘reasonable adjustments’ for people with disabilities. I explained my problem and asked to be allowed to lie down anywhere and on anything. They refused my request. When I said that if I couldn’t lie down I would have to go home, the nurse shrugged and walked off. When I repeated my request an hour later I got another silent shrug and walk off from another nurse, despite my being politeness personified. I was devastated by their callousness. I went home, had three more TIAs, realised my face had dropped and got a taxi back to A&E where the story repeated. Several weeks later l, I still haven’t seen a doctor despite having had multiple mini-strokes in the interim and despite making a formal complaint. Tellingly, a consultant at the hospital offered to make representation on my behalf but said that when she spoke about my case to the head of A&E all they got was a shrug in return. Always with the shrugging…
The NHS just isn't fit for purpose anymore (if it every was).
@@mikefish8226 If you wanted to see a doctor you could turn up at the surgery or A&E and see one, no receptionists because an appointment wasn’t necessary. We don’t have enough doctors the NHS money is being used on more and more staff juggling the numbers instead of doctors and nurses.
Nothing but delay tactics being used several different appointments instead of having tests done on the first appointment, each time you attend that’s increases the number making it look like they see several patient when in fact it’s the same person
We had a first class-service gradually eroded by successive governments.
It is DELIBERATE
Deliberate so we all take out private insurance or pay extortionate amounts of money to see a private doctor because we need urgent treatment. Just like America if you can’t afford it then you suffer or charity funds beg charity to help
Oh yes, I was brought in by Ambulance but still waited 12 hours before I was seen (after several complaints and demanding to see if I was even in line to see a doctor) - I will spare you the soddy details. But one thing was clear, the place was full of 1000's of immigrants who don't have Gp and come to A&E to receive care for any / all minor ailments.
Said one of them
@@nubianqueen4375 You are correct. I am a foreigner and can easily identify other foreigners especially recent arrivals and so take it from me -an impartial observer, the place was over run by recent undocumented migrants.
Has been the plan fir a few years
I’ve always said it since the Tories have been in I’ve always said you would die with this version of the NHS. They are just not equipped to deal with the level of patient care that is required and the fact that Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives have not even attempted to understand this is shocking to me. It really is. I would rather they deal with this first immigration.
Wait until starmer gets in 😅
I had a friend die of Septicemia a month ago due to too long a delay to get seen, despite repeated calls for help.

Very much so too.
It’s heartbreaking
I can’t imagine the suffering
You try get an appointment with a gp. You want to know what’s going wrong start there. I was told today I could not be offered a routine appointment for the foreseeable future
With mine I can always get one, but it's always 2 weeks ahead or more. Luckily I don't have anything where I need it on the day, just routine injections. Cant imagine waiting 2 weeks with chronic pain etc. I feel bad for taking those appointments. It's a shambles.
I was sent as an emergency patient by a GP.... I waited 9 hours .... I was crying. The hard chairs are an additional punishment.
They are too and are truly dreadful who designs them I wonder too.
Same here. We waited 13 hours on those hard chairs!
It's because the is loads off foreign people here the country is over crowded
Does is mean the British sun is now setting. Remember the saying the British Sun ☀️ doesn’t set. Guess you don’t even know what it means or meant those days.
Why are you showing footage that completely blurred? IF you can't show it, don't. There are a millions things you could fill the screen space with ffs
How many patients in a and e are there because they cannot get to see their GP? What has happened to the GP service is a disgrace, GPs just not seeing patients.
Exactly right. Our GP was offering routine appointments again, have been for about a year now suddenly there’s no routine appointments to be had and it’s call on a daily basis, which is ridiculous as they have Two phone lines
There are no GPs, only Physician assistants 😊
Emergency happens any time even night time and that’s the purpose of A&E
@@nubianqueen4375 if it were just accidents and emergencies then A&E wouldn’t be nearly as busy
@@nubianqueen4375 of course too.
Add to that the delay of ambulances. People having strokes are not getting the necessary treatment in time to stop permanent disability or death. It's a disgrace.
Most of A&E are full of foreigners very few English people ... How they pronounce the names is beyond me
When I did have to go to A&E, almost all the patients were British and spoke English. But some did not look `English` because they were brown or black. Strangely, ALL the medical personnel, doctors and nurses, were brown or black!

Dr Tim looks like he doesn’t want to be there or anywhere
It’s called being overworked, stressed, burned out, underpaid and still trying to do his best in an environment that is unforgiving. The tories have deliberately decimated health and social care services.
I called 111 for mental health crisis last weds at 9pm and told I’d receive a call within 4 hours. I got the call just before 7am . I was advised to attend A&E at 10.50am as it’s not a time to be seen but that mh team know I’ll be attending. After 45 min wait I was put in a room for people suffering with mh , after being searched by two security staff. My main problem was there’s a shortage of my antipsychotic nationwide . Dr wrote me a script for this med . Hospital pharmacy said couldn’t give me the meds as it’s a green prescription. I managed to get some off a friend who no longer uses this medication. Dunno what I’m going to do if I can’t get any again . Don’t want to go through what happened last week again . Can’t understand why hospital pharmacy wouldn’t prescribe the medication all because of the prescription colour
Too busy dancing
Really? When??? Back up your evidence!!!
Acute staff shortage...
If people with foreign accents (who don’t pay tax) are not entitled to the NHS, then that’s nearly problem solved.
40% of the NHS healthcare staff are made up ethnic minorities and immigrants. Regarding the “immigrants” that you seem to be referring to, it’s been shown that if/when they use the NHS there isn’t a huge fiscal burden.
Every one and human is entitled to be treated at NHS hospitals and doctors. It’s medication 💊 they will buy

How are the political parties seeking to reduce 7M NHS waiting list?
SILENCE.
Lib dem or Labour.
In that order, NHS won't get fixed under conservative leadership.
Lost in a world of brexit.
Have a look which party started sourcing operations etc… out to the private sector, and allowed hospitals to become trusts . Paying the fats cats up too massive wages
Immigration is the main problem, plain and simple. We allow in too much people and our NHS can’t keep up. Reform tells the truth.
Thats what gets me. Whilst am sorry princess ann had an emergency but did she wait for hours to get to hospital NO obviously not. But some of the public dont stand any chance. Its all.about being rich and famous.
Why do I feel like Brexit is to blame as well. A lot of doctors and nurses returned to their home countries and now we have the boat emigrants! Enjoy UK
One of the main issues with our free NHS is how it is misused. People turn up to A&E, or call 999 for trivial issues and clog the system. They do this because it is of no consequence to them to do so. A nominal charge for GP appointments, for A&E attendance (not much, but enough to make you think about whether it’s overkill to seek such help) would help remarkably.
The go to A&E because the GP system is broken. There's no consequences to GPs not making enough appointments. Every part of the NHS needs torn down and rebuilt on a completely different model.
There are no GP appointments? Have you tried to get one?
@@NecessaryDramaAddictionNDA yes. It depends on where you are.
But if people sought the help of a pharmacist instead of a GP, there would be more appointments available. People go to the doctor for sore throats, coughs, and other trivial things unnecessarily. If were not free, people would think twice, wouldn’t they?
@@acxezknightnite1377 my daughter is a dispenser, they’re also under massive strain.
If the GP were not free it would be like American where people end up homeless who have severe health conditions.

Meanwhile, how many billions of pounds of tax payers money has gone towards the war in Ukraine.
Exactly...Government is good at sending tax payers money to prop up wars. Tories vanity projects, while we suffer.
@@susanmorgan3104Labour have been consistently mute over Ukraine - Starmer has even criticised Farage over what he said about the cause of the war.
His anger is miss-directed at the frontline staff.. rather than the managers and government who do not allow enough funding… to employ enough nurses, doctors, and HCAs to even provide basic care now. All staff are doing about 3 persons jobs.. there is no space.. there are no trolleys .. they cannot cope with the demand.. and cannot monitor patients properly. We are tired of constantly apologising.. with no power to make it better. Many of us are leaving. In our department we need about 5 extra doctors and about 10 extra nurses (on a night) to provide adequate care. Plus space. There are no funds.. and instead they’re cutting staff numbers. It’s impossible. The conservative government have blood on their hands.
Daniel is lucky his dad knew what to do as many parents particularly in the UK don't want to cause a problem. Whilst I was already a patient in the USA I became suddenly worse and it was the early hours of the morning and my mom had come over from the UK and she pleaded for a Dr to be called and she basically had to for that Dr to come and said if a Dr wasn't called they would have2patients as she felt like she was having a cardiac arrest. Apparently when the female Dr showed up she said that this problem had just been dumped on her and how unfair it was. She said that was I behaving normally for me and my mom said if that was my normal behaviour she wouldn't have been called. She basically did nothing for me apparently.
I don’t want to use any hospital or A&E service to be honest. Because I don’t have the confidence that they are going to be able to help me with any care in good time.
Just one of the many joys of cultural enrichment.
Can't get a gp appointment for love nor money
Waiting time in Ukraine is lot better 😅
Being run like a pub 😂
My 2 year old daughter had a big seizure for the first time ever. Face was grey. I rang 999 and ambulance wudnt come as they said even though she was a priority there were others in the same category as her too and they didnt have enough ambulances to go to everybody. They asked me to drive her to closest hospital over 30 minutes away
Daughters bf chest pain told there’s previous heart condition. 3/12 hours wait for an ambulance. My daughter was beside herself
@NecessaryDramaAddictionNDA that's wen I knew the NHS is really gone whenever the ambulances don't even come out for an emergency.
Of all the NHS trusts, Royal Derby Hospital is definitely the worst.
The veteran is very correct and all he said is correct. I agree with with him that the angels, the spirits of the land atre watching over him. He looks better now than before. Biafra is here as our PM the good guy is working very hard. He is unstoppable.
And yet no one will say the NHS needs to be held to account or hold its standards that we expect since we pay for it excessively. Insurance style payment and a privately ran company and we could hold this type of ‘care’ to account. HOW can people say the NHS is great after we pump thousands each each month into it and get no care for it. Reform it.
I'm in hospital right now, I have inflamed appendix they are operating tomorrow. I called 111 early hrs of Monday, abdominal pain was severe and I was being sick. I was told to get a taxi or lift to A&E because ambulance would be delayed.
When I arrived I was standing at the reception 3 woman working continued to have a conversation between them, whilst I'm doubled up in pain and tears rolling down my face.
I was moved to same day care and told it is a 5hr wait, it was 3am. At one point I said I was having trouble breathing and felt like I was going to pass out. They told me to sit down. I ended up lying on the floor as this eased the pain the nurse said I needed to get up of the floor. I said I can't I'm going to pass out sitting on the chair. There was no urgency or compassion, I felt like a nuisance even though I'm a higher rate tax payers and hold private health care which I use for non emergencies. I'm embarrassed for the NHS and think the best thing would be for it to be privatised. It cannot continue to go on like it is. People need to be held accountable for their decisions.

Why............no excuse drs becoming evil some people get revenge for their loved ones as devastating and disrupted mind altering challenge that is forced upon them could you blame them ,if your guilty dishing it out .......you better be willing to lap up the after math of your evilness
Dr Cooksley looks overworked, stressed, and tired. He needs a holiday from the look of things.
The NHS is understaffed. Management needs reform, badly. NHS staff on the front lines (e.g. doctors, nurses, etc.) need to be given more support and be treated better.
Shrewsbury hospital sadly has a history of bad care in ante&post natal care and now in the emergency room too.
Same thing is happening in Canada, in lockstep. All by design. Seems they want us to beg for private care or they just don’t care about us at all.
And even though they have beds, they make people wait on hard chairs.
