Awful
experience,
the
hospital
is
clearly
under
staffed
especially
at
A&E.
I
took
my
10
month
old
child
up
with
suspected
strep
A,
scarlet
fever
he
had
an
extremely
high
temp.
We
waited
for
9
hours
before
leaving
without
seeing
a
doctor.
Unlike
other
hospitals
it
has
no
vending
machines
for
food
or
water
in
the
waiting
room.
It
has
no
facilities
what
so
ever
for
bottle
making
even
though
its
a
children's
hospital
and
they
have
babies
waiting
for
over
9
hours.
I
luckily
got
a
seat
the
corridors
were
lined
with
parents
and
sick
babies
sitting
on
the
floor.
The
full
time
I
was
there
I
was
sitting
on
a
seat
with
sick
under
it.
(One
of
many)
not
once
did
anyone
attend
and
clean
the
area
to
control
infection
I
also
spent
all
night
next
to
a
child
who
was
confirmed
strep
A
and
staff
deemed
it
appropriate
and
safe
to
have
confirmed
case
in
the
waiting
area
surrounded
by
sick
babies.
I
also
witnessed
a
young
girl
being
sick
and
coughing
up
blood
after
having
a
diabetic
hypo
because
she
was
unable
to
keep
any
food
water
down,
again
no
medical
staff
present
and
checking
on
patients
while
we
waited
for
hours.
We
had
to
hunt
for
assistance
and
the
nurse
who
attended
brought
paper
towels
to
clean
up
blood,
I
requested
once
the
child
had
been
attended
to
that
maybe
someone
should
clean
area
with
medical
cleaner
as
it
was
blood.
(this
never
happened).
When
speaking
to
staff
we
were
told
what
do
you
expect
its
A&E
you
should
expect
to
wait
9
hours
to
be
seen.
Not
to
mention
the
complete
waste
of
medical
staff
by
having
not
one
but
two
medical
staff
on
the
entrance
door
to
prevent
partners
from
attending
the
waiting
room
area.
Surely
there
is
better
things
these
staff
members
could
be
doing
like
taking
obs
of
patients
waiting
over
4
hours
incase
vitals
have
changed
in
the
time
since
they
were
processed.
